Everton boss Roberto Martinez feels Tottenham are top four contenders.
The two teams meet today.
Martinez said: "It helps because we're facing really strong opposition but they had an important and intense game as well so we're quite similar in the way we've been able to prepare for the game.
"It's not the same when you're facing an opponent who have had seven days to prepare.
"I really admire this Spurs side. I think they've got a really talented squad.
"They're a team that are fighting to get into the Champions League positions and I do think that they're going to be a really dangerous side as the new manager and players are getting used to the way they want to play.
"They're going to be a real force in the second half of the season, I'm convinced of that.
"Every aspect of this Spurs side has been tailor-made to get into the Champions League. It's just a matter of time and they will get there consistently."
