Tom Huddlestone believes Tottenham Hotspur have one of the best squads in the Premier League, and he thinks that they are ready to prove it.
The midfielder scored in last night's 5-1 League Cup victory over Doncaster, a match in which Spurs fielded a largely second-string side, and Huddlestone told The Daily Mail, "Man for man we've proved we've got one of the top three squads."
Huddlestone is well aware the season is still in its infancy but he does feel a lack of European action could favour the north London club.
He continued, "It's about finding the consistency and not resting on our laurels, we've got to kick on now. Playing just one game a week and not playing in Europe will help because that's how it was when we finished fifth. I think not being in Europe will benefit us in the long run.

"You can't read too much into it after two or three games. When you're seven or eight games into the season you can look at the table properly."
Huddlestone hailed the impact of manager Harry Redknapp, stating that the club are feeling the benefit of a having had a full pre-season under the former Portsmouth boss.
"The manager coming half-way through last season wasn't the best situation," the midfielder said. "This year he had the whole of pre-season to get us playing the way he wants. He has worked a lot on team shape for the last three games.
"Under the old regime nobody would have any idea what the
team was going to be until 20 minutes before you went out to warm up.
You need to work on set pieces in training to work them into the game.
"He has changed the way he wants us to play. He wants us pressing higher up the field, which suits us with the players we have."
