The visitors squad is severely depleted and this is a must-win game if Tottenham are to stay in touch with Chelsea so I can't see past a home victory.
Spurs manager Pochettino, though, insists his side will not give up and are developing the winning mentality that will allow them to step up their challenge in the future even if they fall short on this occasion.
Pochettino said that Spurs' form without Kane, who has scored 19 league goals this season, proved that the team is not reliant on the England forward, and reiterated that his players deserve more credit for what they achieved since he became manager. It's important we compete with ourselves.
Before Antonio Conte's side were due to face Bournemouth late on Saturday night, Spurs made the most of the chance to close the gap at the head of the table to four points with Dele Alli and Eric Dier also on target.

"We started well, playing on the same level, but they had three great shots from three champion players".
Saturday's triumph was a flawless example of this, as Watford were forced into going long early with balls forward and giving up the ball nearly as soon as they had won it back, which allowed the home side to dominate possession and create a host of opportunities.
"The reality is that the only team fighting Chelsea is Tottenham again". But football is about the collective'. The "mind game" is to provide my team with belief and character, which we showed at Swansea.
Tottenham, who also hit the crossbar three times, were never likely to suffer defeat against a Watford side plagued by injuries as Walter Mazzarri shuffled his pack with Troy Deeney only on the bench due to fatigue.
"The third goal cut our legs completely".
