Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has named his favourite Premier League team to watch.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese manager saw his side beat Leeds 3-0, climbing to third in the table.<\/p>\n
But it is just the start of a busy January for the north London side, with a Carabao Cup semi-final against Brentford and FA Cup trip to Marine next week.<\/p>\n
While games against Aston Villa, Sheffield United, Liverpool and Brighton – plus an addition FA Cup game if they win – will continue their league run.<\/p>\n
And the manager revealed that one of the teams holds a special place in his heart this season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking on BT Sport<\/i> about the upcoming games for Spurs, Mourinho said: \u201cWhen we played the people who are considered the top six people say easier games are coming but I of course don't believe it. <\/p>\n
\u201cLeeds are difficult and Aston Villa is my favourite team in the Premier League at the moment. I enjoy watching them, they have good players and are very well coached. This is up next.\u201d<\/p>\n
The West Midlands team have enjoyed a strong start to the season, recording a 7-2 win over Liverpool and a 3-0 win over Arsenal to sit a win-in-hand off Tottenham.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But Spurs boast a forward line featuring Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min, whose combination for the second goal against Leeds saw them break a record. <\/p>\n
And the manager heaped praise on his goalscorer as they made it 32 goals and 22 assists in all competitions.<\/p>\n
When asked if they are the best pairing in English football, Mourinho added: \u201cOf course, the understanding is good and against Leeds it was important to have that ability in attack.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThey stay man-to-man so if you stay static you give them an easy job. That movement of Harry Kane and Sonny in the finishing positions fit well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think in the Premier League there are many good players everywhere even in clubs where you don't believe they can have great players. But I have to say that Sonny and Harry are doing special things this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
