LONDON -- Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to match the longevity and success of Saturday's opponent Arsene Wenger but says he will never compromise on having an English core in an attempt to do so.
This is Wenger's 21st season at Arsenal and his first success -- a Premier League and FA Cup Double in 1998 -- was built on a base of English players including David Seaman, Tony Adams, Martin Keown and Ray Parlour.
But Wenger's later teams, including the 2003-04 "Invincibles" team, had a distinctly foreign feel, and no one has fielded more Premier League XIs without an English player than the 68-year-old.
