When asked about the game, Mourinho told Sky Sports News HQ: "It will be very difficult. They are a very good team.
"They are the first team we have played in a few weeks that will try to divide the control of the match with us. The others had to clearly accept out dominance, but that is not Tottenham's style.
"They play really well. They try to be dominant. I think they played a phenomenal first half against Chelsea. This is Tottenham - they are a very good team."
