Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino warns his side against complacency ahead of their trip to Stoke City this weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has warned his side against complacency ahead of their trip to Stoke City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Spurs will enter the match at the bet365 Stadium off the back of a 3-1 win at Chelsea last weekend, while the capital club have not lost in the Premier League since the middle of December.

Pochettino, however, has claimed that facing Stoke will be tougher than the clash with English champions Chelsea.

"Sometimes after a victory you can sometimes stop to think that, 'If we beat Chelsea why not against Stoke', sometimes you believe you can drop a little bit in your focus," Pochettino told reporters.

"For me, it is the opposite. Our focus must be 200%. For me it will be a tougher game than it was at Stamford Bridge."

Tottenham are currently fourth in the Premier League table - eight points ahead of fifth-placed Chelsea.
