Enzo Maresca on team news:

"Both [James and Fofana] are slowly getting better but as we said the other day it's a matter of weeks. They are still far. The only one still ill is Misha Mudryk. The rest are okay."

"We are very happy for the fans. They deserve to live this moment. They can dream, we are very happy. We work every day to make them happy and proud of the players."

On being title contenders:

"There's nothing to add, I said I don't think we are there and ready to compete with Arsenal, Liverpool and City. We have to do many more things good, not just score goals. Avoid to concede."

"Defensively we are doing well but we are just focused on Sunday and then the next one. We are not thinking about April, May or June. It's too early. Things can change quick in football. The focus is Sunday, today's session and tomorrow's session."

On Club World Cup:

"I said, not only me, but we said there are so many games. We will see when we are close to May, June or July and from there we will prepare for that competition."

On Ange Postecoglou being booed by Spurs fans:

"It's nothing new. It depends on their results and situation. Is it fair or unfair? It's our job."

On Spurs' injury crisis in defence:

"We try always to exploit, no matter the other team or their defenders. I think Romero can be back, probably the solution from them. We will see."

On Noni Madueke criticism:

"Overall he's working well since we start. Sometimes he drops a little bit. He's not allowed to drop. In terms of numbers, he's doing fantastic with goals and assists."

"Off the ball when we ask him to defend and press he's doing very well. The only reason I said this the other day is because I want the best from Noni and to get the best you have to push him. If he relaxes a little bit, it's wrong."

"Since we started we tried to change players. We did the same against Southampton. Changing seven in the Premier League is a big number but they all deserved minutes. The good thing is that, no matter how many we change, you can see the identity of the team."

On his managerial style:

"I try to be, not a friend, but close to the players. Sometimes between friends, when you say something wrong to your friend he's not happy. He has to know that what you say is because you want to take care of him."

"I like to be quite close [to the players]. At the past at Leicester, I had a fantastic relation with the players. This is the way I like to have relations with the players. The same here."

"When you say something they don't like, they think you don't want to be close but it's a way to be close and show them I take care of them. It's not this [to show I'm the boss]."

" The same happened with Reece when I spoke about leadership, it's because I wanted the best for Reece and for him to improve. For Noni, this is not different."

"Robert [Sanchez] is our No.1 [goalkeeper]."

On Spurs:

"They are, first of all, have good players and manager. It's very clear what they want to do on and off the ball. What kind of problems they have, I don't know. You have to be there to understand. A fantastic team, they beat City 4-0 two weeks ago."

On if he is expecting a lot of goals on Sunday:

"Hopefully for us."

On Enzo Fernandez:

"He's improving a lot in terms of understanding the game and the position. Now he's arriving in the box. This is what we need from the attacking players. He has many things he can do better, all the squad do. He's in the right way."

On Moises Caicedo inverting from right-back:

"Probably Moi as a full-back inside was in our minds from day one but because of the Romeo injury and Enzo moment we decided to use him as a holding midfielder. For sure in the future we can use him as a full-back."

"We will see him again there. On the ball, we have Moi inside next to Romeo and Enzo. We are quite good. Enzo is giving us balance so for sure it's an option."

"We take every game as a reference [for progress]. Our reference is just day by day, the training sessions.
