Mauricio Pochettino: 'Tottenham Hotspur must remain focused'

Mauricio Pochettino warns his players of complacency ahead of tonight's Europa League second-leg qualifier against AEL Limasson.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is expecting a "tough game" when his side come up against AEL Limassol with a place in the Europa League on offer.

Spurs boast a 2-1 lead over the Cypriot outfit heading into tonight's second leg at White Hart Lane.

Pochettino watched Premier League rivals Manchester United fall to a heavy 4-0 defeat against MK Dons in the League Cup in the week, and says that his own players will learn from the shock result.

"I believe that it will be a tough game because all games are difficult," the 42-year-old is quoted as saying by ESPN. "On Tuesday it was difficult for Manchester United and you need to be focused on your objective.

"I watched the game in Milton Keynes live. I was there. It was difficult but it's a good example to be ready. Now we need a very good performance to beat Limassol and because we need to stay in the next round.

"We got a good result in Larnaca but we need to ready and focused on the game."

The North Londoners strengthened their squad yesterday with the addition of defender Federico Fazio from Sevilla.
