Tottenham may have endured a season to forget, but have come good at the right time under new manager Roberto de Zerbi, picking up seven points from their last three matches.
That run has seen them leapfrog West Ham to move out of the relegation places.
But De Zerbi said his players “must remain humble” as they look to boost their survival hopes with a win at home to Leeds United tonight.
“First of all, we are playing against one of the best teams in the league, in this moment,” the Spurs boss said.
“In the past five or six games, they won against Manchester United, they drew in Bournemouth playing well, they won at home two times – Wolves and Burnley – and for that we have a big respect.
“We can’t think in a different way. We have to keep this mentality. We must remain humble. Nothing has changed. We have to prepare for an important game.”
Tottenham climbed out of the relegation zone with a surprise 2-1 win at fifth-placed Aston Villa and can move four points clear of West Ham with two matches remaining, if they win at home to Leeds tonight.
