Ryan Mason was back in front of the press again just over 12 hours after Tottenham came from 2-0 down to draw with Manchester United. The result just about keeps Spurs in the hunt for the top four but a crucial game against Liverpool awaits.
The Reds are one point behind having played a game less but still trail Erik ten Hag's fourth placed United by seven points. Tottenham themselves are six points off the Champions League qualification places but have played twice more than the Reds Devils.
Brighton are still well in the mix too and are 11 points off United, five off Spurs, having played only 30 games. The result has put added jeopardy on Sunday's match, especially after a week of turmoil.
