      Jose Mourinho refusing to give up on Tottenham’s top four hopes until it’s ‘not possible’ amid growing pressure

      by

      JOSE MOURINHO has issued a rallying cry claiming he’s not prepared to give up on Tottenham’s top four hopes.
      The Portuguese boss is under mounting pressure after seeing his side drop to ninth in the Premier League.

      Spurs have won just one out of their last five league matches and were also knocked out of the FA Cup in the fifth round to Everton.
      With his side six points adrift of fourth, Mourinho is remaining defiant that he can lead a charge into a Champions League spot without relying on qualification through the Europa League.
      Ahead of their Thursday’s clash against Austrians’ Wolfsberger, he said: “It’s difficult in any case but it’s possible in both cases.
      “The fourth position in the Premier League is of course very difficult but it is not mathematically impossible.

      “Last season we were in a very, very bad position to try to get into the Europa League spots and in the end we made it in the last minute of the last game but we made it.
      “Our motivation last season was while mathematically it’s possible we have to go for it.
      “I remember we were coming from a 3-1 defeat against Sheffield and even with that result that looked crucial in that moment of the season mathematically it was still possible and we chased it until the last game, which is the same thing we’re going to do now.
      “In the Europa League there are an incredible number of matches and we are in the tenth and not even in the last 16. It’s still the last 32, so it’s a long, long competition with very good teams, very good teams.

      “You just look to the English teams in it and you see how strong the competition can be, but it’s open. We’re one of the 32 teams that has a chance to win it and we’re going to try.”
      Mourinho has also backed keeper Hugo Lloris, insisting: He is still my No1.
      The Spurs skipper and stopper has been slammed for making costly mistakes in recent weeks.
      It has even been claimed the North Londoners will look to sell the France captain in the summer.
      But Mourinho is standing by his star and said: “Well, when a player is a top player, it’s not because of one mistake or two or three that means he’s not a top player again. That’s the most important thing.
      “I shouldn’t speak about it because he’s not my goalkeeper, but I don’t think he will take it in the wrong way. For me Alisson is one of the top five best goalkeepers in the world and in the last couple of matches, not yesterday, but in the matches before he’s made big mistakes. But he is one of the top five goalkeepers in the world.
      “Hugo is the same, he is an amazing, amazing goalkeeper that is performing super consistently.
      “Since he recovered from his elbow fracture, since my time here, he is playing so, so well. If he had responsibility in one or another goal we conceded recently, he’s still the same goalkeeper.

      “He’s my No.1 choice and he has all my trust and my confidence.”
      Joe Hart has started seven of Tottenham’s 10 Europa League ties this season, but looks likely to be on the bench again tomorrow.
      Mourinho added: “In Joe Hart’s case, I’m also happy. He played already, if I’m not wrong, nine matches this season which is more, If i’m not wrong, than what he played in the previous two seasons.
      “So in half of the season here I believed he played more matches than in the previous two seasons. Which is very, very good. He’s also a goalkeeper I totally trust, too.”
      Left-back Sergio Reguilon is not fit enough to return from his muscle injury and will not travel.

      How Arsenal could line up against Benfica with Kieran Tierney back in training ahead of Europa League clash

      by

      ARSENAL face Benfica in the Europa League last 32 on Thursday with the possibility that left-back Kieran Tierney could finally be available.
      The Scot has missed the Gunners’ last five Premier League games because of a troublesome calf.

      But the 23-year-old has returned to training ahead of Mikel Arteta’s side’s knockout clash.
      Arsenal’s ‘away’ leg has been moved from Portugal to Rome’s Stadio Olimpico amid coronavirus travel restrictions.
      But the game could come too soon for Tierney to be restored to the starting XI.
      Tierney was last seen on the field in the 3-0 win over Newcastle on January 18.

      Arteta’s side topped their group easily with a 100 per cent record of six wins from six.
      But the Gunners will be wary that they crashed out at this exact stage to Olympiacos last season.
      Nicolas Pepe could be brought back into the side after bagging three goals and as many assists in the group games.
      From the side that started the 4-2 win over Leeds, loanee Martin Odegaard may be most likely to miss out.

      Skipper and Prem hat-trick hero Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang twisted his ankle against Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
      SunSport revealed Arsenal are investigating the Gabonese striker after a video of a new tattoo appeared to suggest a Covid breach – but neither issue is thought likely to keep him out of the side.
      Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey is still sidelined.

      How Man Utd could line up against Real Sociedad with Amad Diallo CONFIRMED in squad but Solskjaer facing striker crisis

      by

      AMAD DIALLO could make his Manchester United debut in the Europa League clash against Real Sociedad on Thursday.
      The Ivorian winger, 18, arrived at Old Trafford from Atalanta for £37million in January in a deal that was initially agreed last summer.

      And after stunning onlookers with his performances for the Under-23s, Diallo has been named in the squad that will travel to Turin – where the last 32 first leg is being held amid coronavirus restrictions.
      Diallo has bagged three goals and as many assists in just two games for Neil Wood’s youth side and could make his first-team bow in Europe.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is experiencing something of a forward crisis with Edinson Cavani ruled out and Anthony Martial struggling.
      Uruguayan striker Cavani and Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek both have muscle injuries so will remain at Carrington.

      And the Norwegian boss is also sweating on the fitness of Martial and midfielder Scott McTominay.

      Paul Pogba is still sidelined and will not return to competitive action until next month.
      Solskjaer said: “Paul is recovering well. He’s starting the treatment but it will still be a few weeks.
      “He won’t be playing in February, that’s for sure, it’s still a few weeks before we see Paul definitely.

      “Apart from that, we have a couple of doubtful ones, if they’ll be fit enough – Anthony and Scott.
      “Donny and Edinson are injured unfortunately, muscle injuries, so they won’t travel.”

      Diallo is most likely to start on the bench alongside 17-year-old wonderkid Shola Shoretire who could also be handed a senior debut after being included in the 22-man travelling party.
      But with Cavani, Pogba, Van de Beek and Martial all potentially out he could land a starting spot.
      Mason Greenwood is set to start fresh from signing a bumper new four-year deal at the club.
      With McTominay in a race to be fit, experienced Serb Nemanja Matic is likely to deputise alongside Fred in the heart of midfield.
      United go into the tie aiming to finally snare some silverware after falling at the semi-final stage last season and dropping down from the Champions League after finishing third in their group.
      And the Red Devils can be confident of success after a supercomputer predicted they will lift the Europa League trophy this season.
