Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham will cope

Tottenham face the unenviable task of playing six vital matches over the next 17 days, but Mauricio Pochettino is confident his side can cope.

The Argentinian’s start to life at White Hart Lane was not straightforward, but the Capital One Cup final against Chelsea on March 1 offers him the opportunity to end his first season at the helm with silverware.

Spurs have emerged as genuine top-four contenders in that period and, furthermore, will resume a two-pronged trophy hunt tonight, when Fiorentina visit for the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie (8.05pm, live on BT Sport 2).
