June 17 marks the restart of the English Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur set to host Manchester United two days later.

Spurs have nine games to try and force their way into the Champions League places, with Jose Mourinho's men currently seven points off the top four.

However, fifth place could be enough if Manchester City's appeal against a two-season European ban is rejected.

Harry Kane, who will be fit to resume following nearly six months off with a serious hamstring injury, believes that focusing solely on the Premier League will be beneficial for Tottenham.

"From our point of view we are not in any of the other competitions so we have got nine games to concentrate on picking up as many points and try and get into the Champions League spots," Kane told Sky Sports News.

"So at least all our focus is going to be on one competition," he added.

Spurs stepped up preparations for the restart by staging an 11 v 11 training match at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Friday.
