Title chase has energised Tottenham, warns Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino has warned Leicester his players are as fresh as they were at the start of the season and ready for a sprint finish to win the title.

Spurs are now eight points behind Leicester after the Foxes hammered Swansea 4-0 yesterday, but can close the gap back to five with a win at home to West Brom tonight.

Concerns that Pochettino’s pressing style of play and intense training methods might lead to fatigue have been allayed, with his side losing only once in the league since January and taking 14 points from the last 18 available.
