Tottenham keen on title talk

Mauricio Pochettino has welcomed talk of Tottenham as title contenders this season as he believes it pays tribute to his team’s performances.

Unbeaten since the opening day of the campaign, Spurs are fifth in the Premier League and only four points behind league leaders Manchester City.

Pochettino’s side have already played every team in the top six and their fixtures in December look kind, with West Brom, Newcastle, Southampton, Norwich and Watford to come before the end of the year.
