Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino believes his manne can snatch the Premier League title.
Spurs’ credentials were questioned in the last two weeks when they were knocked out of the League and FA Cups and were struck by long term injuries to star manne Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
But hard-fought back-to-back league wins over Watford in midweek and Newcastle on Saturday lifted them into second place in the standings, with champions Manchester City hosting Arsenal late on Sunday night.
Spurs are now four points off leaders Liverpool, who go to West Ham on Monday night and they believe they can still catch the leaders.
Heung-min Son struck seven minutes from time with the help of a goalkeeping error from Martin Dubravka to secure a 1-0 win at Wembley.

And Poch reckons his dark horses have got themselves back in the race for the title.
He says: “It is a massive result to be in a very good position in the table. We don’t need to be in some position to convince ourselves about our capacity or potential. We believe in ourselves.
“It is a different thing to say if we are going to be capable to fight until the end to be champion. “Today I think we are there because we deserve to be there.
“For me the most important is that the team are in a great level of belief, character and mentality.
“With a lot of [adverse] circumstances we are showing we can win in any stadium and against any club.
“It’s about now praising the squad or players to be in the position we are in the Premier League. A position no one believed at the beginning of the season we would be.”
