Burnley welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Turf Moor in the Premier League tomorrow.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche raved about Tottenham’s quality when speaking to reporters today, suggesting that Mauricio Pochettino’s men are right in the mix for the Premier League title, as quoted by Burnley Football Club.
Spurs currently sit in third spot in the Premier League table, five points adrift of league leaders Manchester City and second placed Liverpool, although they do have a game in hand over the champions.
Tottenham have been without their two most important players Harry Kane and Dele Alli over the past month or so, and they deserve great credit for hanging onto the coattails of the top two.
Dyche, whose Burnley side face Spurs tomorrow, told reporters today what has really impressed him about Pochettino’s side this season, as quoted by Burnley Football Club:
“For me, Tottenham are challenging for the title, along with Manchester City and Liverpool. They have very strong individuals, but like us they also have a vey strong team ethic and they are definitely recognised as a front-runner. I don’t think it’s a great surprise that they are doing so well, but their minds seem clear and they are delivering performances.”
Tottenham now face a three game run that could define their Premier League season, with back-to-back away games against Burnley and Chelsea respectively, before they play host to bitter rivals Arsenal.
And if Poch’s side manage to win all three games, they will be in a great position from which to win their first top flight title since 1961.
