London: Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino believes rival Premier League managers and fans want his team to win when they play leaders Chelsea on Wednesday.
With Chelsea six points clear, Pochettino thinks Liverpool, Arsenal and the two Manchester clubs will be hoping for a Spurs win to stop Antonio Conte's team from setting a new record of 14 successive Premier League victories within the same season. "I think it's important for EPL and for us to try to win and try to stop them and reduce the gap because in the end for us the challenge is to try to be at the top," Pochettino said after his side's 4-1 win at Watford on Sunday.
Last season the situations were reversed, with many neutrals wanting Tottenham to falter against Chelsea.
"Yes, maybe we will feel how Leicester felt last season when all the teams were with them and against us. Maybe they felt the same as us last season," ," Pochettino said.
