Tottenham Hotspur will be on their travels for their next Premier League fixture when they take on Sean Dyche’s Burnley.
Sean Dyche has admitted that he is a ‘big admirer’ of Mauricio Pochettino as he shared that Keiran Trippier told him that the Tottenham boss ‘really works’ the players during training.
Right-back Trippier moved to White Hart Lane during the summer of 2015 when he made the switch from Turf Moor where he was working under the stewardship of Dyche.
Nonetheless, despite not spending a single penny on a player during the previous two transfer windows, Spurs are still in contention to win the Premier League title & Champions League this season.
Dyche will lock horns with Pochettino next Saturday, but he waxed-lyrical about the highly-rated coach, who has received praise for the manner in which he has taken Spurs to the next level.
“They are a top side,” Dyche told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on 14/02/2019. “They are sneaking under the rails on the idea of possibly chasing the title.
“I am a big admirer of Pochettino and what he does. I like the way he works his players sometimes. It is underrated that value that he works his players. I know from Kieran Trippier, they really work. When they are on it, they are one of the top sides.”
During their last match, Pochettino’s side recorded an emphatic 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League knockout encounter.
As a result, they have one foot in the quarter-final stage, but they will be well aware that they still have a tough task to see off the tie when they travel to Germany for the return leg.
Added with their successful results in Europe, the north London outfit are sitting third in the Premier League table, five points off second-placed Liverpool and leaders Manchester City, with the latter having played a game more.
All of this has happened in recent weeks without Pochettino having two of his key attacking players available with striker Harry Kane and attacking midfielder Dele Alli on the sidelines with an injury.
