Following their FA Cup exit, Tottenham Hotspur winger Andros Townsend believes his side need to focus on their League Cup match against Sheffield United as they bid to book a trip to Wembley.
The north Londoners lost their fourth round FA Cup tie 2-1 to Leicester City at White Hart Lane on Saturday and now the League Cup is their only hope of a Wembley visit.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have the upper hand ahead of the second leg of their League Cup semi-final final tie against Sheffield United having beaten the Blades 1-0 courtesy of a 74th minute spot kick converted by Townsend.
The England international is not bogged down by their FA Cup exit and believes they need to remain positive when they visit Bramall Lane tomorrow.
“We have to remain positive, the games come thick and fast”, Townsend told the club site.
