Tottenham midfielder Maddison: It's all about top 4 - not shaping title race

Tottenham midfielder James Maddison says their total focus is on a top four finish.

Spurs could have a say in the title race as they're still to face Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.

“I am excited," said midfielder Maddison. “You want to be involved in the big games and the big moments. It just happens to be that all those three teams at the top we have still got to play. It will be interesting but we have got a job to do.

“People keep asking me about what sort of say we are going to have in the title race. We are not looking at it like that, we have got a job to do. We would never look at what we can do for other teams, we want to finish as high as we can. To do that, we might have to beat some of the teams who are in for the title.

“The Premier League has been brilliant. It has been chaos this year with the three-way title race, the relegation battle, the points deductions, the race for the Champions League. It is set to be a good finale for everyone involved. We have got a job to do at Newcastle on Saturday to try and secure what we want to achieve."
