Rafael van der Vaart is of firm belief that Tottenham will pick themselves up following yesterday's heavy defeat to Arsenal.
Spurs capitulated after leading by two goals at one stage to conceded five goals in a row in their 5-2 North London derby loss at the Emirates but van der Vaart is tipping the team to bounce back and remain in third position until the end of the campaign.
"Do we have the mental strength to put this behind us? Of course. It will be difficult against United but the confidence is there.
"This season, we have nearly always played well at home. Yesterday was a bad day but that's all it was.
"Of course you always hope [for a chance at the title] but Manchester City are winning their games so easily, especially now we have lost, so maybe the title is over.
"Third is our main goal now and I'm really confident we can finish there.""It won't be difficult to lift ourselves," he told the Evening Standard.
