Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has refused to take relegation battlers Aston Villa lightly in their league clash at White Hart Lane later tonight.
The Villans have hit rock bottom in the league table, having managed to win only one of their last ten matches, losing eight.
The Lilywhites on the other hand are on a roll, having lost only one of their ten league matches, winning four and drawing five.
The former Southampton manager though stresses the need to remain cautious as he knows that it is always difficult to keep momentum going.
Pochettino is also aware of the fact that every team is on the lookout to beat his side and therefore it will be important that they deliver according to the plan on the given night.

“It’s hard to keep the momentum going and it’s hard to beat teams in the Premier League – this is why we need to work very hard and to be focused on our job in every game.”
