Spurs tore Bournemouth apart in the early kick-off at White Hart Lane on Saturday with goals from Moussa Dembele, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Vincent Janssen giving them a 4-0 victory.

"We got the three points and now the pressure is on Chelsea to win in Old Trafford", Pochettino said. "We are doing a quick job, a miracle this season considering the problems last season".

"But now that you hear from him, I think you can put in my position and the players' position".

"We've said that if they fail, we must be ready and we will be there waiting".

Harry Kane believes Tottenham can land another psychological blow in the title race by beating Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.

Just three minutes into the second half, and the game was effectively over.

"We will play with a lot more confidence", Belgium worldwide Vertonghen said when asked how the Tottenham side of March 2015 compares with the team today.

Saturday's win saw Spurs move onto 71 points, one more than they managed in the whole of last season and one short of their record total in the Premier League.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe admitted his side were short of their best against Tottenham and warned that the Cherries could still get dragged into a relegation battle.

"We expended a lot of energy fighting against Leicester, against Chelsea, against the media".

Peter Crouch nodded Stoke back ahead in the 66th minute and Xherdan Shaqiri sealed the points in the 80th minute to leave fourth bottom Hull only two points above the relegation zone.

Leicester City played the role of underdog past year as it fought off Tottenham's challenge to improbably collect the Premier League trophy last May.

Kane, 23, is the first Spurs player to have scored at least 20 league goals in three successive seasons since the great Jimmy Greaves in the late 1960s.

Tottenham ended up drawing two and losing two of their final four matches last season to finish below not only the champions, Leicester, but also - for the 21st season in a row - their north London rivals, Arsenal.

"They were everything. They covered every inch of grass, didn't let us have a pass".

The Dutch striker has endured a hard first year in English football, as having hit 31 goals in 49 games for AZ Alkmaar last season, Janssen arrived with the expectation of providing another goalscorer behind Harry Kane. Of course it's a different competition so it's hard to say, but it's a big game for us, a big game for the club, a massive semifinal and you never know.
