Tottenham defender Cristian Romero is refusing to refer to Arsenal by name.

Spurs host Arsenal tomorrow.

Romero told Sky Sports: "I think we can come back from this far back (11 points behind). But there's a lot of work we need to do, using everything we've got.

"If you're top of the league, you deserve to be there and that's where they are. But we want to be there ourselves.

"We know we need to improve a lot of things, but we are working hard thinking about us, not them."

But despite not naming Arsenal once Romero was full of praise for the league leaders, also admitting the importance of a win.

He said: "If I have to say something about them, they've got a strong squad.

"They are in an important moment in what they've been building for years and we can see that, at the moment, they're doing well. For us, we're in a position where we still need to grow."
