"I think we have enough quality and a big enough squad that we can do both. Why prioritise one of them?" Pochettino, who saw his side get knocked out of the FA Cup by Crystal Palace last weekend, told British media.

"I think that we have to try to be competitive in every competition. We are happy in the way that we are and now I think we need to put all our energy into recovering our players and to feeling good for the next game."

Pochettino also confirmed that the North London side hope to welcome back influential striker Harry Kane, who missed Thursday's game with a broken nose, for the league clash against relegation-threatened Swansea City on Sunday.
