Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli wins England call-up for Spain and

The victory extends Tottenham’s unbeaten run to 10 games in the Premier League and takes them up to fifth in the table, five points off the top.

Spurs have already proven themselves to have impressive powers of recovery having taken seven points out of nine from games which have followed mid-week Europa League ties this week. Pochettino will hope that record continues ahead of the trip to the co-league leaders.

Villa have now made their worst ever start after 11 matches of a top-flight season and Garde’s first game in charge comes at home to league leaders Manchester City on Sunday.

Arsenal have won two of their three games after Champions League matches to prove they can too deal with juggling European and domestic demands.

Mauricio Pochettino told Dele Alli to “keep his feet on the grass” after the Tottenham midfielder shone against Aston Villa.

“The derby is a different game”, the Tottenham boss explained. Pochettino was pleased with how they played but demanded more of the approach – not least by his native Argentina – in the rugby world cup that ended on Sunday. I know what it means for our supporters.

“There are a few good technical players and I’m sure with his experience at Arsenal under Arsene Wenger and from his coaching at Lyon he will instil his thoughts”.

“In football it is always day by day”.

“We’re playing very well, we’re exciting, we’re a young team and we’ve got a lot of energy, and the wins will just keep giving us that, but there’s still a long way to go so we’ve got to keep trying to learn and improve”, Kane said.

“It’s a good achievement, but to be honest, for me, it [10 matches unbeaten] means nothing because we are ambitious and we want to win the next game”, Pochettino said. He’s a young player with a lot of talent, he just wants to play football and that’s nice to see. It is information you can explain but I won’t complain and it is not an excuse. “There is no comparison between the magnitude of the games and Arsenal have to recover their confidence after a heavy defeat”. It is because of the way we train and this is our sport science and medical team.

“Every player is different”.
