Top of the Kops: Spurs keeper Lloris wary of slick Liverpool after derby triumph - Mirror.co.uk

Hugo Lloris last night added to Arsenal's North London derby woes as he told the Gunners: Liverpool will be a bigger threat to us than you.

Spurs head to Anfield next Sunday with the chance to stretch their advantage over Chelsea and Arsenal in the fight for a top four place.

And as skipper Michael Dawson savoured the special taste of derby victory, the French keeper suggested the harder task will come on Merseyside.

Lloris said: "The season is not finished. There are 10 games to go so we have to keep concentration and be focused on the end of the season.

"Of course it's better to be in this position than Arsenal although we have to keep a lucidity of the situation.

"The most important thing is to be in the Champions League next season and I think we have to keep our ambition.

"We don't know what can happen so we have to keep going, not look at the other teams and be focused on ourselves.

"But it will be another game next Sunday. Liverpool are playing maybe the best football in the Premier League at this moment.

"They proved that in their last game against Wigan. It will be a very difficult game but very exciting game in Anfield."

Before that game, Spurs face Inter Milan in the Europa League on Thursday and Lloris believes the White Hart Lane factor can have a huge effect against the struggling Serie A giants.

He added: "We felt the atmosphere on the pitch against Arsenal and I'm sure we can again.

"The atmosphere was fantastic when we scored the first and after the second goal the stadium was on fire, like it was at the final whistle.

"It's important for confidence to keep our supporters with us and we need them for the other important games.

"Of course there is the Premier League but also the Europa League, we can do something and why not win a trophy for the club? It would be a great thing for this season but also for the future."

Captain Dawson agreed revenge was sweet after November's second successive 5-2 thumping at the Emirates.

Dawson said: "I enjoyed it. It wasn't so nice at the Emirates. Getting beat away like we did hurt us. I know it hurt the fans so we savoured that moment. We enjoyed it and it's a massive three points.

"We know we've got some tough games coming up but now we're in a good position. There's more belief about the team now, definitely."
