Former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas believes his old side will be thinking they can get into the Premier League top four after their recent upturn in form.
After winning their last two games against Burnley and Fulham, Tottenham now sit eighth in the table with 12 games to play, five points behind Chelsea in fourth place, but with a game in hand.
Spurs do also have Everton, West Ham and Liverpool above them in the race to qualify for European football next season, but with a game in hand on both Liverpool and Chelsea, Jose Mourinho's men could close the gap and climb the table with more positive results.
However, Jenas believes that while there are other teams between Spurs and the top four at the moment, there is another side Tottenham and their rivals could potentially catch above them in third-placed Leicester City.
Brendan Rodgers' men have stuttered lately with just one point from their last three games, with Leicester hit by injuries to some key players in James Maddison and Harvey Barnes.
And Jenas reckons other sides, including Spurs, will be looking at the Foxes as a team they can hunt down between now and the end of the season.
“It wasn’t even a conversation at one point [top four]," he said, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“We have been speaking about energy, positive and negative and the impact that can have on the team, but right now Tottenham have got that wave of energy, they are looking up and thinking ‘right, we can get there now all of a sudden’.
“There are a few teams like Leicester, by the way, who are on the other side of the coin, having lost some of their key players and they have the memory of what happened last season, and ‘can we hang on’ is their mentality.
“Little shifts like that have a big impact."
