‘I’d be sacked if I just won the Carabao Cup’ - Pochettino more interested in Premier League glory

Mauricio Pochettino says his goal is to win the Premier League and Champions League, believing he would be sacked if he did not field a title contender while winning domestic cups.

Tottenham’s next two matches are in the cups, as they face off against Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup on Friday before a Tuesday meeting with Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.

The cups come as Spurs battle to stay in the title race, as they sit in third place, six points behind Liverpool and two behind Manchester City.
