Coach Tottenham Mauricio Pochettino once again stressed that his team continues to pursue Chelsea in the title race.

Over the past 22 years Spurs have never finished in the championship table of England higher than their principal rival - Arsenal.

The victory in the upcoming North London derby will allow the Pochettino team to secure a final place over the Gunners, but the coach himself states that this is not the main goal of his team.

"It's very important for us to win, because we know what it means to beat Arsenal in the derby, but our goal is to win the title, and not finish higher than the Gunners".

"Arsenal does not bother me. I think only about my players, my club and my fans, and not about what is going on around us, "Pochettino said..

At the moment, Tottenham takes second place in the Premier League standings, 4 points behind Chelsea, and 14 points ahead of the sixth coming Arsenal.
