Antonio Conte is on the verge of guiding Tottenham Hotspur to a place in the Champions League after a two-year absence from Europe's premier competition. Heading into the final game of the 2021/22 Premier League campaign in fourth, Spurs crucially hold a two-point advantage over nearest rivals Arsenal.
Three points against Norwich City at Carrow Road will guarantee Tottenham Champions League football, while a point will also be enough unless there is a huge swing in goal difference and the Gunners beat Everton by 16 goals. Looking a long way off the top four following his appointment at the start of November, the Lilywhites have made huge strides in recent months to put themselves in the driving seat for fourth.
Reflecting on what he found at Tottenham when he first arrived in N17 and whether his players are now mentally stronger, the 52-year-old opened up on his first game against Vitesse Arnhem in the Europa Conference League. Winning 3-2 despite having Cristian Romero sent off on the hour mark, there were aspects of the performance that Conte did not like nor can he forget about.
