Jose Mourinho insisted Tottenham will not approach their match against Sheffield United as if they are facing the worst team in the Premier League.
Spurs missed the chance to go third when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham on Wednesday, but have a good opportunity to return to winning ways when they visit Bramall Lane.
The Blades - who won the corresponding fixture 3-1 last season - sit bottom with just five points, but Chris Wilder's team finally picked up their first league win of the campaign by beating Newcastle United 1-0 last time out.
