Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham are struggling to cope with increased expectation levels

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino admits his side are struggling to cope with increased levels of expectation this season.

Spurs have won only two of their last eight Premier League matches and sit ten points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

Pochettino's men have the chance to close the gap before Christmas, however, with two home games to come against Hull on Wednesday and Burnley on Sunday.

Tottenham showed glimpses of a return to form last week with a 5-0 thrashing of Swansea followed by a 3-1 win over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League.
