A shock defeat at Burnley last weekend seemed to extinguish any faint hopes of chipping away at Liverpool’s lead at the top of the table.And defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday night then all-but confirmed a late Spurs surge towards the top was over.After beating Leicester City and Newcastle United, it seemed as though Spurs could mount an incredible charge towards the title. But the former Southampton boss believes those two defeats have cost the north Londoners.“It was difficult after Burnley and after Chelsea it is nearly impossible,” Pochettino admitted.2

“It is going to be tough. We need to win all of the games and the two opponents above us need to lose some games.“If we want to be dreamers then until it is mathematically impossible you can dream. But realistically the percentage is not too big.”Spurs will give fitness tests to Jan Vertonghen and Harry Winks ahead of the clash at Wembley.Vertonghen picked up a hip injury in the build-up to Wednesday’s defeat at Chelsea, where Winks sustained a similar problem. Dele Alli (hamstring) and Eric Dier (tonsillitis) are both out.However, Harry Kane is free to play after escaping retrospective action after an alleged headbutt on Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta.
