Antonio Conte claims Tottenham Hotspur are in a similar playing field to Newcastle United rather than the top four.
Speaking to BeIN Sport, Conte said that his side need to fight the likes of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Brighton as things stand.
The Italian has been vocal about the lack of quality in his side since arriving earlier this season, but the claim that his side need to be battling with sides in the lower half of the table is perplexing.
