Pochettino admits Tottenham's top-four hopes now slim

Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham's chances of producing a top-four finish are now questionable.

Spurs drew 0-0 with Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday which sees the north Londoners sitting in sixth positon on the Premier League table, seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester City who meet Crystal Palace on Monday night.

After being held by the Clarets in Lancashire, Spurs boss Pochettino admitted it would now be very difficult to make up the points required to grab a Champions League spot in their remaining fixtures.

"It is difficult but we have seven games, we will try," he told Sky Sports.

"It is true that it is not easy. This game was a very tough game and we need to try to win the most points possible in the next seven games."

Next up for Spurs is 17th-placed Aston Villa at White Hart Lane on Saturday, April 11.
