SPURS BOSS DREAMS OF PERFECT SEASON FINALE

MAURICIO POCHETTINO wants Tottenham to move “home” to White Hart Lane this season to boost their title bid – even if it is for only one game.

But the Spurs boss admitted his third-placed team will have to win every match to stand a chance of catching the leaders, starting with a “cup final” against Leicester tomorrow.

Pochettino said his gut feeling is that it’s going to be tough to leave Wembley for their new 62,000-seater arena after a series of embarrassing delays. on March 2 has been ruled out as a first game – and there will then be only five remaining home games.

But Pochettino said: “(Chairman) Daniel (Levy) still believes. He is working hard in order to deliver. The club has my opinion. My opinion is ‘move.’ If we can play one or five games, I want to move.

“Even for one game, I take the risk and move. I am brave. Lift the league trophy in the new stadium? Exactly. Or we lose it. But in your home. I always prefer to play at home and in my stadium and my house. happens.”

Moving stadiums so late in the season could prompt other clubs to cry foul. “Most clubs would prefer to play against us at Wembley,” Pochettino claimed. “Did you see how many people were there for the last few games? 30,000. When you have the capacity for 90,000 and you play in front of 30,000 I think it is a massive advantage for the opponent. “I want to play in front of 60,000, not 30,000. It’s going to be a massive boost and massive impact to move to I hope that the new stadium – and that’s going to translate to the team.”

Tottenham’s title tilt will also be helped by Harry Kane’s return from his ankle injury ahead of schedule, possibly for the Burnley clash on February 23.

“He’s so close to coming back,” said the Spurs boss. “Not for Sunday, not for Wednesday, but we will see after.”

First Spurs will take on Leicester City, who denied them the title in 2016.

Pochettino, unhappy that the game is not being played today to allow his team more time to recover for the Champions League tie with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, said: “We need to win all the games. That is the idea as there is a fivepoint gap to the top.

“For me the most important game is this one – we must win. It’s like a cup final. In my mind this game is key if we want to be there fighting until the end.

“It’s key for us to win to be involved right to the end of the season. But I think that Liverpool are still clear favourites to win the title.”
