Brad Friedel "confident" of top-four finish

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Brad Friedel has said that the team are "confident" of retaining their Premier League position at the end of the season.

Spurs are currently fourth in the table after being overtaken by local rivals Arsenal this week.

"We'll see in nine games' time," Friedel said. "You can't look forward five or six games in the Premier League and say 'oh that one's going to be tough and that one's going to be winnable'. It's impossible.

"We're not concerned at all. We'll get prepared for Chelsea. We will go into that game very confident expecting to get a good result.

"It's definitely not all doom and gloom. It's definitely not a pressure situation where the lads are losing confidence."

Spurs have taken just one point from their last four games.
