Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino blames Premier League title struggles on awful away record against top six

Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham's awful away record against the Premier League's big six is largely why the title continues to elude the north London club.

Under the Argentine, Spurs have won only once in 18 attempts against their direct rivals on the road – and that was two years ago this month at Manchester City.

It is a statistic that irritates Pochettino, whose side face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday in a contest that could have a big impact in the fight for the top four.

'That is why maybe we miss a title, why we don't win the Premier League,' Pochettino said.
