Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino has warned Leicester his players are as fresh as they were at the start of the season and ready for a sprint finish to win the title.
Spurs are now eight points behind Leicester after the Foxes hammered Swansea 4-0 on Sunday, but can close the gap back to five with a win at home to West Brom on Monday night.
Concerns that Pochettino's pressing style of play and intense training methods might lead to fatigue have been allayed, with his side losing only once in the league since January and taking 14 points from the last 18 available.
Tottenham have four games left to catch Leicester and Pochettino believes his players are now running further and fighting harder with the finishing line in sight.
"I think we are as strong as at the start of the season, we are at the same level, maybe the difference is our opponents," Pochettino said.
"The data is similar at the beginning to now because now we can see the finish line.
"We don't arrive yet, this is important, but our motivation is good and then you can run more. It is always in our mind and we are in a very good moment.
"We need to fight to achieve big things like winning the title."
More on goal: A deep corner is met by Dawson's head from close range and it's 1-1.

Dier has taken a knock during the goal and is coming off. Ryan Mason, who hasn't had much of a warm up, is on.

Pochettino and his coaching staff are livid. It looks like they're waiting to speak to the referee.
There's a lot of disappointed Spurs faces out there. We haven't too many of them this season. Plenty of home fans staying being - 'heads up' is the message.
