Tottenham true title contenders, warns Roberto Martinez

Tottenham’s Premier League title credentials have been backed by Everton manager Roberto Martinez.

Spurs begin 2016 in fourth, just four points off leaders and north London rivals Arsenal, after suffering just one league defeat since an opening-day loss at Manchester United.

They appear to have put that surprise home reverse to Newcastle behind them too, winning three successive games since and Toffees boss Martinez sees no reason why they cannot be contending for a maiden Premier League title success come May.
