Friday 4 December 2015 14:04, UK
Mauricio Pochettino says he has no problem with people suggesting Tottenham can win this season's Premier League.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho claimed in the run-up to last weekend's derby that Spurs should be considered genuine title contenders.
Pochettino's team are unbeaten since the opening day and just four points off top spot going into a run of December games against West Brom, Newcastle, Southampton, Norwich and Watford.
And the Argentine said: "If the people believe we are contenders I am happy because we have shown enough quality for that.
"Agree or not agree we want to win the next game and take the three points. I always believe in my squad and my players. I believe we can win."

Tony Pulis' Albion beat Arsenal in their previous home game, and Pochettino says there can be no easing off if Spurs are to avoid a similar fate on Saturday.
"We will expect a very tough game," he said. "They are a very strong team, have a great manager. I have a great relationship with Tony.
"We have to run a lot, play well with and without the ball to make a big effort to win the game."
