Tottenham Hotspur are now looking with a degree of hope towards the second half of the season and there are a number of players who can step up their campaigns to help the cause.
Sunday's impressive 1-0 victory against title-challengers Manchester City coupled with a strengthened squad and five wins from their past seven games, including five clean sheets, has renewed confidence that Antonio Conte's men can push on in the second half of the campaign.
Tottenham sit three points behind third-placed Manchester United in fifth and face AC Milan in the last 16 of the Champions League. They will also take on either Wrexham or Sheffield United in the fifth round of an FA Cup that has lost all of its big guns except for the two Manchester clubs.
