Tottenham midfielder James Maddison says the players feel they're capable of something special this season.

Maddison is preparing for his first North London derby tomorrow at Arsenal.

"We don't want to fly away too much. It's our job to stay focused and stay on track. But I'd be lying if I said it doesn't feel like there's something special in the air right now," Maddison told Sky Sports, who also spoke of manager Ange Postecoglou.

"He is a little different compared to coaches I have worked with before.

"He is a man who says things without wrapping them up. That's what you want as a player. You want honesty, that someone tells it like it is."
