Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham Hotspur's pursuit of the Premier League title will be helped by playing on Friday evening, when they travel to face West Ham United.
The match takes place three days before league leaders Chelsea, who are four points clear at the top, host Middlesbrough at Stamford Bridge.
"I think it's important for us to keep interest until the end of the season. It's a great opportunity for us, Friday, to try to reduce the gap and put a little bit of pressure on them," he said.
