Tottenham need better home form to challenge for Premier League top spot – Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho believes Tottenham need to improve their home form if they are going to challenge for the Premier League title.

Spurs, who are currently seventh in the table and without a home league win this season, face Brighton on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

A 1-0 opening-day defeat to Everton was followed by a controversial last-gasp VAR decision that prevented victory over Newcastle, before poor defending played a part in Spurs squandering a 3-0 lead over West Ham to eventually draw 3-3.

With different results against Newcastle and West Ham, Tottenham could have been top of the table going into their clash with Brighton, but they could close the gap on league frontrunners Liverpool with a win against Graham Potter’s side.

“We are magnificent away from home [in the league]”, Mourinho tells Sky Sports News.

“But at home we have lost too many points, and with these points, we would be there [Premier League leaders].”

Conversely, Mourinho has hailed Tottenham’s away form in the top-flight, with his side having scored 12 goals in three wins.
