Antonio Conte believes Monday's Premier League clash with Everton has come at the 'right moment' for his Tottenham Hotspur side.
The north London outfit were knocked out of the FA Cup at the hands of Middlesbrough on Tuesday evening, ending hopes of securing their first piece of silverware since 2008.
Spurs' league form has been unpredictable of late, having won away to Manchester City and lost to Burnley the following game.

Tottenham will have aspirations of playing European football next season, though face competition from a number of other sides for a top-six finish.
Looking ahead to Monday's clash with the Blues, Conte said: "A good game for us, in the right moment.
"On Monday. We are having the right time to prepare the game and for sure from now until the rest of the season, the only positive thing is we can have more days to prepared for the game. In the past when we had more time to prepare we had good results."
On the threat of Frank Lampard's men, the Italian added: "We know we’re facing a good team and a new manager.
"Everton decided to send away Rafa Benitez, who in my opinion, is a good and important manager.
"I have great respect for him. Now there’s Frank Lampard, and he’s showing that he can do this job very well. In his last two experiences, he did well with Derby and with Chelsea. Monday will be a tough game for both teams."
Providing an update on the availability of his group, Conte confirmed that midfield duo Lucas Moura and Rodrigo Bentancur will be fit to play while Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga will miss out.
