Spurs' project is not "artificial" like others, says Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur can inflict another psychological blow on Premier League leaders Chelsea by beating them in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final tie at Wembley, striker Harry Kane has said.

"We want to be playing in the Premier League next season so we need to turn up and be the better team against Middlesbrough". Pochettino has also attempted manipulation.

Chelsea sat 10 points clear at the top of the table just over a fortnight ago, but two defeats, the first against Crystal Palace, in four matches have thrust Tottenham back into contention.

Tottenham are certainly the form team going into the clash, having won eight matches in a row in all competitions and scored an average of three goals a game in that period.

"To me, he is the most exciting young coach in the Premier League, and potentially the most exciting in Europe".

"They [Chelsea] have played great and obviously Eden [Hazard] is a very special player but we have played against him this season and we have played against Chelsea this season and we won", Vertonghen said when asked about the threats posed by Chelsea's forward line.

"You would still have to fancy Chelsea with the run-in that they've got".

Add in Conte's reminder of how this season should be seen in the context of Chelsea's poor campaign previous year and the impression is left of a manager trying to lower expectations just when they are at their highest.

"The pressure is on Chelsea to win at Old Trafford and [that] will be very tough for them".

"Four points is still two games".

"We have important injuries and we do not have so many players to rotate".

"I love the coach, I think he is brilliant", Neville told Sky Sports 1's Monday Night Football programme (17 April).

"But it's a great feeling to know that it's hard for us to lose a match, people fight until the end".

Chelsea failed to have a shot on target in a @PremierLeague game today for the first time in almost 10 years.
