SPURS head to Manchester on Sunday for another crucial game in the race for the title. 

Mauricio Pochettino’s team take on Manchester City, who will still be smarting from their 3-1 thrashing by Premier League leaders Leicester on Saturday. 

Having netted six victories in a row Spurs will also be confident of beating the Sky Blues. 

Skipper and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has spoken of the atmosphere in the dressing room as the excitement grows on the White Hart Lane terraces. 

He said: “I have always spoken about having the ‘basics’ in the team and we have the basics. 

“We have the talent, we have the working mentality, and we have improved a lot tactically and technically. Individually as well, a lot of players are improving and because we are young, some players don’t know their limit. That’s very good. 

“The competition inside the club helps push everyone even more. For me, I’m 29, I have more than 10 years behind me in professional football and I’m enjoying this moment at Tottenham because it’s very difficult at the highest level of football to keep the right balance in the team and at the moment. We’re doing that.” 

Lloris added that fans should sit back and enjoy the remaining games. “We’re having a great season because we are still in the cups, still in the league. There are a lot of things to try to reach. That’s very exciting,” he said.
