Redknapp eyes extended Spurs streak

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has urged his team to continue their impressive form and consolidate a place in the Premier League top four.

Eight wins in their last nine games have seen Spurs climb to third in the table, but the 64-year-old Redknapp is wary of losing the initiative to their rivals.

Redknapp told SkySports: “When you look at the table it just shows you how tight it is going to be at the top.”

“There is still nothing between us, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City – although City have pulled away a little bit.”

“It has been a fantastic run of results for us since the start of September.”

“In my opinion, any side with top-four aspirations needs to try to maintain that kind of form for the majority of the season – as much as maybe two points a game over the course of the campaign.”

Redknapp steered Spurs to the Champions League places in the 2009/10 season but could only manage fifth position last term.

Tottenham’s next opportunity to extend their streak comes at the Hawthorns on Saturday when they take on Roy Hodgson’s West Bromwich Albion.
