Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits the top four race is tightening up after victory over Nottingham Forest.

The 3-1 win sees Spurs six points clear in fourth place.

Conte said, "Yeah but you know very well the race for a place in Champions League will be really, really tough because you see the competitors. You see there are many, many teams involved and I think in this moment there is only one place available because City and Arsenal they are fighting to win the Premier League and United I think they are showing they have great continuity of good results. I think there is one place and there are many teams, many important teams that are in this race.

"We have to try to do our best and for sure I repeat for us to finish in the top four is like to win the Premier League. It happen last season and I spoke about miracle. I continue to say maybe this season it be much more difficult, much more difficult because Liverpool is a competitor in this race. Newcastle is a competitor but Newcastle is a different Newcastle to the past. They invest a lot of money and they have a strong team.

"See Chelsea and what happen and their position, but I don't consider Chelsea outside because Chelsea has the possibility to win the last 11 or 12 games in a row because the squad is really, really strong. We have to think to ourselves. Before during an interview, they ask me about Liverpool and today Liverpool lost but we have to think to ourselves.

"A top club looks to themselves, not to look at other results and see. Think to get three points and then what happen on the other teams, it doesn't care. We have to be focused on our path and to try to do our best until the end of the season and then we see which is the position we are able to achieve."
