Spurs will need to raise game for Sevilla

TOTTENHAM manager Martin Jol believes his side will have to play “better than ever” if they are to knock defending champions Sevilla out of the UEFA Cup.

Both Spurs and Sevilla are among the favourites to win this year’s tournament, with the Spanish side looking to become only the second club in history to retain the trophy after Real Madrid.

Spurs are in fine form heading into tonight’s quarter-final first leg at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium with five successive league wins, but Jol feels they will need to produce something special to get past Sevilla.
