Mean at the back, free-spirited and free-scoring up front is a great combination.
"But let's not forget last season when Tottenham were getting closer to Leicester and they dropped off. If we pick up the points we need it doesn't matter what Spurs do".
It takes something special to beat Chelsea these days and Manchester United conjured a sparkling performance to stun the league leaders at Old Trafford on Sunday. There is also a Manchester derby in the remaining 10 games of the season.
"It's a fantastic achievement to get seven wins in a row". That was a very bad period at the end of last season.
"Now it's come full circle and they could be doing it to Chelsea".

United's win over Chelsea took them up to fifth, and they are now three points ahead of Arsenal despite Arsene Wenger's men getting back to winning ways by beating Middlesbrough on Monday night - the Gunners are level on points with Everton, who got the better of Burnley 3-1 on Saturday to remain seventh.

Chelsea were undoubtedly rocked by losing two key players in the build up to the match.
Anxiety was writ large across the face of Antonio Conte in the wake of Sunday's defeat with the Chelsea manager shouldering responsibility for the result.
Such question marks do hang much more over Spurs. Simon Evans looks into this season's championship run-in.
But win or lose the semi-final at Wembley, the Blues' main focus remains the Premier League title.
"They showed more desire, more ambition, more motivation".
Spurs qualified for the Champions League last season by finishing third.
Gunners fans even created the concept of "St Totteringham's Day", which, rather like Easter, is a moveable feast, celebrating the time every year when it is mathematically confirmed that Arsenal will finish above Spurs.
