Mauricio Pochettino believes the next month could define Tottenham's season and says they cannot allow injuries to disrupt their rhythm, while adding he won't alter his selection based on the result of the Arsenal-Chelsea clash on Saturday morning.
Spurs host Middlesbrough on Saturday, as they look to reduce a nine-point gap on Chelsea, before making a tough trip to Liverpool next weekend.
Pochettino's men then face two Europa League games against Gent, either side of an FA Cup fifth round tie at Fulham, before finishing the month at home to Stoke in the Premier League.
It means a poor run of form could spell the end of Tottenham's challenge in all three competitions and their cause has not been helped by a recent spate of injuries.
