Manager Mauricio Pochettino says that Tottenham Hotspur will not think about the Champions League tie with Juventus until after Saturday's match with Huddersfield Town.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has insisted that his side will not overlook Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon.

Next week, Spurs meet Juventus in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, with the North Londoners currently holding a slender advantage due to the two away goals scored in Turin.

However, Pochettino has said that full focus remains on Saturday's fixture with the Terriers, with Spurs having the chance to go five points clear of Chelsea in the race for a place in the top four.

At a press conference, the 45-year-old told reporters: "Both our eyes are focused on the game against Huddersfield. That for us is the most important game. It's an important three points for the battle for the top four. We cannot think of the game after.

"We need to be focused and ready to compete because it will be tough. Huddersfield are in a position where they need points too. For us the most important thing is tomorrow."

Spurs head into the game having put together a 16-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.
