LONDON CALLING

A mouth-watering derby in the English capital provides Thursday's night entertainment.

After Manchester City and Newcastle United won on Wednesday to overtake them, Chelsea are looking to reclaim fourth place with victory here.

The Blues will be aiming to get back on track, having seen a four-match winning streak ended by a 1-0 defeat at Arsenal before the international break.

As for Tottenham, they are down in 14th place, and seeking to reduce their 10-point deficit to the top half of the table.

Ange Postecoglou has come under pressure recently, but a win at Stamford Bridge would certainly ease that.

Ange Postecoglou 'not disrespected' by Mauricio Pochettino Tottenham return comments - 'Hope it happens for him'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has made it clear that he does not feel disrespected by Mauricio Pochettino's desire to return to the club in the future, after comments the former Spurs boss made recently. Pressure is mounting on Postecoglou as the club languish in 14th in the Premier League table, with the UEFA Europa League the only trophy left on the table for the Australian.

Ange Postecoglou hopes that Mauricio Pochettino returns to Tottenham Hotspur one day, insisting he does not "feel disrespected" by the Argentinian’s comments.

Pochettino, who is now in charge of the United States men's national team, managed Spurs from 2014 to 2019 and last month stated his desire to return in the future.

He led the club to the UEFA Champions League final in 2019 and, after spells at Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, he took over the USMNT in September 2024.

Pochettino's comments came as the pressure on Postecoglou continues to mount, with Spurs sitting in 14th in the Premier League and his future in north London seeming uncertain.

When asked about the comments, the Australian said: "Mauricio, if he wants to come back one day, I hope it happens for him.

"We all have dreams and aspirations, and if that's what he wants, you're suggesting that he's trying to put pressure on me?

"Well, I don't feel disrespected. I think if you ask Mauricio that question directly, you'd get a pretty clear answer as to what his intent was.

"Again, nothing from me to be consumed with. I'm more focused on trying to make sure we win tomorrow night (against Chelsea in the Premier League)."

Postecoglou’s appointment in June 2023 made him the fourth manager to take charge of the club since Pochettino’s sacking in November 2019, following Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte.

Pochettino is on a two-year deal with the USMNT that takes him through to next year’s World Cup, hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Postecoglou has one year remaining on his contract from this summer, with an option for the club to extend it by another season.

His future at the club is hanging in the balance, with a UEFA Europa League trophy seen in some quarters as the only remaining feat that could save his job.

"I don't deal with it, mate," he said in response to the speculation around his future.

"I know what my responsibilities are. I'm sure if the club decides to go in a different direction, there are some outstanding candidates out there for it.

"And you know what, maybe someone will think, 'Ah Ange Postecoglou's not a bad coach, maybe we'll take a punt on him'. It doesn't rock my world.

"It doesn't consume me. I'm here, I'm passionate about what we're doing. I was brought in to change the way the club plays, rejuvenate the squad, bring success, I'm focused on that. That's what I'll keep doing."

Spurs head to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea before hosting bottom-of-the-table Southampton, then Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie.

The two-legged European clash, live on TNT Sports and discovery+, could well decide whether Postecoglou stays on at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs will be without both Kevin Danso and Dejan Kulusevski for the first leg, but Postecoglou has said that Richarlison is closing in on returning to the matchday squad following two months out.
