Eriksen keen to maintain the momentum

– Tottenham Hotspur have recovered from a minor slump earlier in the campaign and regained form at the right time, playmaker Christian Eriksen (left) has said ahead of the team’s crucial Premier League and Champions League fixtures.

Tottenham struggled in the last three months of 2017, when they slipped out of the Premier League’s top four and were knocked out of the League Cup, but have since regained momentum and are unbeaten in their last 14 games across all competitions.

Spurs’ run includes league wins over Manchester United and Arsenal along with a comeback 2-2 draw with Italian champions Juventus in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

“There is still everything to play for in the Champions League and getting seven points from the games against United, Liverpool and Arsenal was a great achievement.”

Tottenham have won six and drawn two of their last eight league matches to climb within four points of second-placed Manchester United as the race for a top-four finish heats up. The north London outfit have also gone on a winning run in the latter stages of the last two seasons.

Tottenham face Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town in the league with an FA Cup replay against Rochdale sandwiched in between, before hosting Juventus in the home leg of their Champions League tie. – Reuters
