WHAT HAPPENED?
The Premier League title race is heading towards an exciting climax as Arsenal and Manchester City go for glory. Tottenham could have a big say in where the trophy ends up as they are set to take on Pep Guardiola's side on Tuesday. Victory for Spurs could effectively hand their north London rivals a first league title since 2004, but Postecoglou has insisted his team won't roll over against the defending champions.
WHAT POSTECOGLOU SAID
He told reporters: "I’m here fighting tooth and nail every single day for everything I can get for this football club because that’s my responsibility. I would not give up on any cause even the most lost of causes because then I’d be abstaining from my responsibilities. I want us to finish the season strong. I want us to try and win three games of football and see where that takes us.”

Tottenham are set to play Burnley on Saturday before they host City and Postecoglou insisted his side haven't given up on the season despite suffering four defeats on the bounce. He added: "That’s a harsh term, give up. What does that mean I come in here at 12 o’clock, have a latte, go home and just let the guys train? I don’t give up on anything."
