William Gallas has called on Tottenham to put the 'frustration' of their Manchester City defeat behind them in Saturday's North London derby against Arsenal.
Consistency
Gallas acknowledges the battle for UEFA Champions League qualification will be tough this season, with Everton and surprise package West Brom showing the kind of consistency - particularly at home - that Spurs are lacking.
The Frenchman believes Spurs' historic win over Manchester United in September - their first at Old Trafford in 23 years - should serve as a reference point of what the team can achieve.
"If we believe in it maybe we can finish fourth, but there are so many teams who want to finish fourth as well," said the 35-year-old.
"All the fans, people who watch football, are very excited to know who will finish fourth.
"After what we did at Manchester United we have to believe we can win anywhere.
"We played very well there, now when we play away we have to be convinced we can do something and come back to London with three points."
