Tottenham Hotspur's South Korean striker Son Heung-Min (L) celebrates scoring his team's third goal during the English Premier League football match between Tottenham Hotspur and Watford at White Hart Lane in London, on April 8, 2017.

Arsenal have not finished outside the top four during Arsene Wenger's 21-year reign.

A win for Maurico Pochettino's side would see them close the gap to four points overnight before Chelsea head to Old Trafford on Sunday to take on Jose Mourinho's Manchester United.

"The formation we were playing with three at the back gave me a bit more freedom and the chance to get more goals".

"Chelsea was a hard game for us, but I thought we were competitive despite the fact we lost".

'The most important thing is to do our job, try to win games and try to reduce the gap with Chelsea'.

Despite being beaten by Chelsea, Howe believes the confidence of his players should not have been dented as they prepare for what he feels will be another stern test against one of the Premier League's most clinical teams.

If Tottenham win this match they'll reach 71 points from 32 games - one more point than they achieved in the whole of 2015-16 (70).

But Tillerson repeated the administration's new belief that "the reign of the Assad family is coming to an end". France was "dismayed by the outcome" of the vote, according to Paris' ambassador Francois Delattre.

Having made his return from injury against Watford, Harry Kane, who has scored 24 goals in all competitions this season, may make his first start in nearly five weeks.

Kane was named among the nominees for the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Player of the Season award on Thursday. Mauricio Pochettino has proven that Harry Kane isn't an irreplaceable player in the team and has won games when the England worldwide has not been able to feature through injury with addition from the likes of Dele Alli. "He's a person that never settles the limits, he is open to improve and yes, why not?"

"You always want to play against their best players, but you do tend not to focus on the individual player unless there is key information and a key strength or weakness, but we will be well prepared".

"I grew up observing Steven Gerrard a lot and he was a number eight so I'd like to play there but when contest is like it's you play everywhere the supervisor would like one to".

"He is fit again and very fresh in his body and his mind".

Victor Wanyama missed the clash with the Hornets, but the Kenyan midfielder is likely to return this weekend, with Mauricio Pochettino confident he will be available. Six games remain and even questionable players on the periphery, such as Lys Mousset, will be keen to at least get some game time to prove they are worth a place at the club.

"It isn't a case of "we've lost it" but it's a case of Chelsea have done extremely well themselves and went on that wonderful unbeaten run", Dier said.
