Manuel Almunia is calling on his team mates to provide a positive response in the crucial weekend clash against Tottenham Hotspur, after their exit from the Champions League at the hands of Barcelona.

We travel to White Hart Lane in what is arguably the Biggest Match of Our Season ™ so far, where nothing but three points will do to ensure we stay in the title race.

We are three points behind top spot (four effectively if you take into account the goal difference), and with Chelsea and Man United having difficult games of their own, we have to be in a position to capitalise on any slip-ups by the top two.

Almunia said: "We are in a good place in the Premier League and we have to show big character as we have done already in big moments.

"We have to believe we can still win a trophy - if not, then we should go home and forget the season. At least we are in the league fighting for the title and that is what we want.

"We want to play the last few games where anything is possible, otherwise we would be very disappointed and bored.

"It is a completely different game against Spurs and I think we will be okay for that match."
