'Worst feeling I've had at Tottenham' - Pochettino plays down title talk

The Spurs boss claims he felt better about his team in previous years, despite their strong start to the 2018-19 campaign

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino insists that his team are still some way short of being genuine contenders for the Premier League title.

Spurs are fifth in the table after nine matches, having won seven games overall and their last four on the bounce, which has left them five points behind leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.

The Lilywhites have the opportunity to close that gap back to two on Monday night when they take on Manchester City at Wembley, in the biggest clash of the week.
