`Dark horses' Spurs eye top four spot

14 December 2010 15:30
Alan Hutton claims all the pressure is on the Barclays Premier League top four this season and is warning "dark horses" Tottenham are ready to steal the title from under their noses. Fifth-placed Spurs travel to Blackpool on Sunday knowing victory is vital to their hopes of keeping pace with the leaders in what is developing into the most open championship battle for years. Manchester United's victory over Arsenal last night saw them move seven points clear of Tottenham, who have also splayed a game more. Right-back Hutton acknowledges Spurs are outsiders as they bid to land their first league title for half a century but said: "I think it's better that way - there's no pressure on us. "Everybody can see how good we're playing and what we're doing. "So let the pressure be on them and we'll just play away."
