Mauricio Pochettino: 'Tottenham Hotspur starting to believe in title challenge'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino admits that his side are starting to believe they can win the title after moving up to second in the Premier League table.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has said that his side are starting to believe that they can win the Premier League title this season.

Spurs made the most of Manchester City dropping points in their early top-of-the-table clash with Leicester City by beating Watford 1-0 at White Hart Lane this afternoon.

That result lifted the North Londoners up to second in the table, and Pochettino can feel the belief growing amongst his players.

"You can see in their eyes, the feeling, the energy, that they believe. In football belief is the most important word. If we believe, anything can happen. I believe in my squad and they believe too in the way we play. This synergy is very important for the future," Pochettino told reporters.

"But it is better not to speak too much, only to show, to work hard. This is the better way to show we are ready to compete and after, we see what happens. But the most important thing is to do rather than speak. It's real we are in a very good position but we need to keep working and not think too much about the future.

"For me, historically Tottenham is one of the biggest clubs in England. It is not a surprise we are in a good position. Maybe in the last few years, but in the past Tottenham showed they are one of the best clubs in England. Leicester fully deserve their position and how they won the game they completely deserved it because they were better than Manchester City."

Spurs have not lifted the top-flight title since Bill Nicholson's double winners of 1961.
