Time for Tottenham to prove character, says Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino is urging his Tottenham players to stick together and be brave as the pressure of the title race hots up.

Spurs sit second, two points behind Leicester with 11 games to go, and their credentials to be champions are set to be fully tested in the next four days as Pochettino’s men face West Ham tonight and then Arsenal this weekend.

Both London rivals will be eager to put a dent in their neighbour’s title ambitions while Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri has said Tottenham should now be considered favourites to lift the top prize in May.
