Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is happy to be named by Jose Mourinho among the title contenders this season.
Mourinho sparked some controversy by declaring Manchester City B could win the league.
Pochettino said: "I love Mo (Mourinho).
We all know he is so clever, he is so sarcastic sometimes, that is why the is one of the best managers in the world.
I respect his opinion. I am grateful, too, because a coach like Mourinho believing in our potential to be a contender is important.
We have our belief and our faith in us, but that compliment helps us to believe that little bit more, of course."
