Published on October 17, 2019, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has expressed confidence in his current squad, despite the team's poor start to the Premier League season.

Spurs, who finished fourth last season, have lost three of their eight matches so far, prompting fans to call for reinforcements. However, Pochettino has brushed off talk of an overhaul, stating, 'I believe in the players we have, I believe in the players that are at Spurs today.'

He added, 'I know they have the quality. We have great quality to be fighting for the things we expect to fight.' Pochettino's comments come ahead of Saturday's home match against basement side Watford.

The team is dealing with several injuries, including Christian Eriksen's dead leg and Hugo Lloris's dislocated elbow. However, midfielder Giovani Lo Celso is back in full training after shaking off a hip problem, and Ryan Sessegnon is in contention to play his first match since joining from Fulham.
