Mauricio Pochettino wants to play at the new Tottenham stadium at least once this season

Mauricio Pochettino wants Tottenham to move "home" into his new stadium this season to strengthen his bid for the title, even if it 's only one match.

However, the Spurs boss admitted that his team, ranked third, had to win every game to have a chance to catch up with the leaders, starting with a "cup final" against Leicester on Sunday.

Pochettino said that he thought it would be difficult to leave Wembley for his new 62,000-seat arena after a series of embarrbading delays.

The North London derby on 2 March was ruled out as the first match. There will only be five home games left.

But Pochettino said: "(President) Daniel (Levy) still believes. He works hard to deliver. The club in my opinion. My opinion is "move". If we can play one or five games, I want to move.

"Even for a match, I take the risk and move. I am courageous. Raise the league trophy in the new stadium? Exactly. Or we lose it. But at your place. I always prefer to play at home, in my stadium and at home. I hope it happens.

Moving stadiums so late in the season could cause other clubs to complain. "Most clubs would prefer to play against us in Wembley," said Pochettino.

"Did you see how many people were present in the last games? 30,000. When you have a 90,000 capacity and you play in front of 30,000, I think it's a huge advantage for the opponent.

"I want to play in front of 60,000 people, not 30,000. The move to the new stadium will be a real boost and a big impact. And that will translate for the team. "

The Tottenham title will also be helped by Harry Kane's return from his ankle injury before the scheduled deadline, likely due to the Burnley clash on Feb. 23.

"He's so close to coming back," said Spurs boss. "Not for Sunday, not for Wednesday, but we'll see after."

The first Spurs will face Leicester City, who denied them the title in 2016.

Pochettino, unhappy that the match is not playing today to give his team more time to recover from the Champions League first leg match with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, said: "We have to win every This is the idea because there is a gap of five points at the top.

"For me, the most important game is this one – we have to win. It's like a cup final. In my mind, this game is essential if we want to fight until the end.

"It's essential for us to win before the end of the season. But I think Liverpool is still the favorite to win the title. "
