Pochettino: Any team in the top 10 can win the Premier League

Spurs are also without the services of striker Clinton Njie, who has undergone knee surgery after sustaining ligament damage in the Lilywhites’ 4-1 win over Monaco in the Europa League.

Leicester’s resilience paid dividends in the 83rd minute, though, as Robert Huth’s powerful header from Christian Fuchs’ corner sealed all three points and saw Ranieri’s side move level with Arsenal – who are top on goal difference.

Leicester City have only lost two games this season, the lowest in the premier league, and are the second team to have scored the most goals 38, just one behind Man City 39.

Mauricio Pochettino expects Tottenham to respond from the loss to Leicester when Sunderland visit White Hart Lane on Saturday.

However he will want his side to put their recent defeat behind them and ensure they are still in the top four after the latest round of matches, which given the unpredictable nature of this season will be easier said than done. “You feel disappointed but you need to carry on and keep working hard”, he reflected. So far anything can happen.

“Nothing to say, only that we need to work more to try to improve and win games when we are in front of an opponent like Leicester, that are strong, play deeper, always long balls, and they believe in their way”.

“And tonight of course, the fact that we conceded a goal in the last minute”.

“In the way we played last night it’s nothing to worry (about) for the future”.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder will have a vital role to play in the months ahead.

The Italian’s performance has been breathtaking from the very beginning of the season and even though his star players such as Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez are having less impact on play, Leicester continue to find the way to win football matches.

“I don’t see Tottenham being out of the Champions League now”, Redknapp told TalkSPORT.
