Tottenham Hotspur are not concerned about the Premier League title race between Manchester City and Arsenal and see Tuesday\u2019s game against City as a challenge to measure themselves against the best, manager Ange Postecoglou said.<\/p>\n

Second-placed City are\u00a0trying to pip\u00a0Arsenal who are a point ahead having played an extra game, while Spurs are looking to close a four-point gap with fourth-placed Aston Villa in a bid to qualify for the Champions League.
\n\u201cAny time you\u2019re going to play Man City, particularly at the end of a season when they always seem to be at their best, it\u2019s a hell of a challenge,\u201d Postecoglou told reporters on Monday.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve got an opportunity to measure ourselves against the best. A team that has consistently strived for honours. We want to emulate them one day and the best way to do that is to test yourself against them.\u201d
\nCity have struggled at Spurs since they moved into their new stadium, losing five matches in the venue before getting their first win in January\u2019s FA Cup tie.
\n\u201cMy recent home record against them is one game, one loss. So I\u2019m not going to take any confidence from that,\u201d Postecoglou said.
\nThe manager dismissed the idea that most Spurs fans would want their club to lose in order to dent local rival Arsenal\u2019s title hopes.
\n\u201cYou think the majority of our fans are not going to want us to win tomorrow night? I don\u2019t see it that way. I think the majority of our fans will create the atmosphere they always create at our games,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cI will never understand if somebody wants their own team to lose. That is not what sport is about. What I love more than anything is the competitiveness.\u201d
\nMidfielder Yves Bissouma and forward Richarlison will miss the remaining games of the season with injuries, Postecoglou added.
\n\u201cRicharlison would probably have been out for three or four weeks at least, from what I understand,\u201d he said, indicating the Brazil forward was a doubt for the Copa America in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
