Tottenham face perfect chance to boost top-four chances, says Charlie Nicholas

Soccer Saturday pundit Charlie Nicholas believes Tottenham must get a result to keep their top-four hopes alive when they visit Manchester United on Super Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino's men can move level on points with United, who currently sit fourth, with a third successive win at Old Trafford, having bounced back from their Capital One Cup final disappointment with back-to-back victories.

The hosts saw their only hope of silverware ended with a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Monday night, and Nicholas believes they will the there for the taking on Sunday.

He told Sky Sports: "United are playing with fear and don't look like they're enjoying their football right now.

"There's a golden ticket up for grabs for Spurs when they visit Old Trafford on Sunday. It's a must-not lose for Spurs rather than a must win.

"They have got to believe. Their style of play has been good and Kane is absolutely explosive right now but there's no point doing it occasionally. It's a chance to prove they are real contenders.

"If Spurs don't lose at Old Trafford this weekend, then I think Spurs will finish above United. They have a golden ticket to drag United into this mire and fire themselves into the mix.

"It's always next year with Spurs but it has got to be now."
