Mauricio Pochettino has urged his players to seize on the belief that they can be within one point of Premier League leaders Chelsea by lunchtime on Saturday.
In a potentially remarkable twist in the title race the difference between first and second could be reduced from 10 points as of last Saturday to just one in the space of eight days, following Chelsea’s shock defeat to Crystal Palace at the weekend.
Should Spurs beat Swansea on Wednesday and Chelsea continue to choke and lose against Manchester City, then Pochettino will be able to pile the pressure on their rivals when Spurs face Watford in the early kick-off on Saturday, with Chelsea not playing until 5.
