Kane dreaming of Premier League title win

Chelsea meanwhile head across London looking to continue their mini-revival after winning their last two games following their disastrous start to their Premier League title defence.

And the market for top London club is fascinating.

Cesc Fabregas, however, will be back in contention for Chelsea after a toe problem as the Blues search for a crucial victory. From a manager who operates under forensic examination, this was an attempt to put some of that pressure back on to Tottenham.

But there is now a level of optimism around White Hart Lane that has rarely been witnessed in recent times. Throw into the mix that fact that Tottenham are unbeaten in 12 Premier League games, and Jose Mourinho will know his defending champions face a tough test. Tottenham to win to nil is 7/2.

In team news, the hosts are forced to do without Dele Alli through suspension after the midfielder picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against the Hammers.

“They were very impressive that day because I think we were the better side but they just knew how to win”.

“The team is very good”.

Mourinho feels that the Argentine is the flawless manager for a club like Tottenham who want to invest their faith in the youngsters and being away from the limelight has helped both the manager and his players. “I think a really, really, really good team”.

Mousa Dembele, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker did not travel to Azerbaijan and should all be recalled, while Son Heung-min should retain his spot in the side.

“For us to qualify, and win the group as well, is a great achievement”. “The objective is gone now”. For many players it gave the belief that we can achieve important things. We have a big squad and everyone is ready to go again and again.

“It is true we arrive maybe not in the best condition to compete in the right way but [we] respect our medical staff for what they do”.

They managed to end a three-game losing streak in the league by beating Norwich 1-0 last Saturday and then followed that up with a 4-0 Champions League victory at Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday so they might have turned a corner. “We played Sunday ahead of the second leg of the Champions League, the biggest competition in the world”, he said.

“We have a little hope that it’s possible”, Mourinho added. The main aim for us this season was to try and get top four. That’s mainly down to star man Kane getting back amongst the goals finally and leading the team to wins.

The Portuguese coach also disclosed his doubts over the condition of Ramires and Radamel Falcao, while ruling Thibaut Courtois out of a return at White Hart Lane.
