Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is more concerned about his side’s upcoming tough games rather than Manchester City’s form.
Manchester City are flying in the Premier League at the moment and have become the first side in over a century to score 29 goals in their opening eight games of an English top flight season.
Many are already anointing Pep Guardiola’s men the probable champions this season, but Pochettino has insisted that despite Manchester City’s form his side will need to keep pushing.
They are still just five points off Manchester City, but with games against Liverpool and Manchester United coming up, the Spurs boss is keeping his focus on his side’s performances.
He feels the season will have its twists and turns and stressed that he is not thinking too much about Manchester City’s form at this stage of the campaign.
