THE WAIT OF THE WORLD

SWANSEA manager Carlos Carvalhal has piled the pressure on FA Cup visitors Tottenham by claiming it will “feel like the end of the world” if they lose their quarter-final tie. Pressure is growing on Pochettino to seal the progress he has made at Tottenham with the first trophy of his near-fouryear reign. The FA Cup represents Tottenham’s last chance of silverware this season after their Champions League exit to Juventus. But reinvigorated Swansea harbour real hopes of springing a shock after winning their last seven games at the Liberty Stadium.

“A club like Tottenham have high expectations and want to win trophies,” Carvalhal (left) said. “It is a normal pressure for them, they have to win. If they lose this game it is like the end of the world.”
