Pochettino will be desperate to add a major trophy to his CV.

The Argentine faces the task of managing his squad for six games in 17 days, competing in the Premier League, the Capital One Cup final and the Europa League.

“It’s important to manage the squad and always analyse after the games each case and each player. And after to be clever and select the best player to play in each game.
“For me, I prefer to play every three days because it’s a good sign we are in all competitions. We have a strong squad for playing in the Europa League, Premier League and the final of Capital One Cup against Chelsea. I am happy.”
Champions League qualification remains a priority for the hierarchy at Spurs, especially with the additional funds needed for the new stadium.
