Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino insists that he is not prioritising between the Premier League and the Europa League.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that he is not prioritising competitions as his team are in the running for the Premier League and the Europa League crown.

The North London outfit have the chance of winning their first league title since 1961 as they are currently second in the table, five points adrift of leaders Leicester City.

Tomorrow, Spurs will take on Borussia Dortmund in Germany for the first leg of their last-16 tie in the second-tier European competition.

When asked about the club's priorities in Wednesday's press conference, Pochettino told reporters: "Always we try to take the better decision and pick the better player for different games.

"I think tomorrow we have a very tough game against Borussia Dortmund and I think the Europa League and Premier League are competitions that are our priority now because we have two competitions, but in the same way we are in a period that is tough for the players and sometimes you need to refresh the team and sometimes you need to rotate.

"It is difficult to play every game with the same team and for that, from the beginning of the season, we always spoke about the important thing is to have a big squad and that all the players feel they are important and the starting 11 for tomorrow is the best team we can pick to try to win the game."

Spurs will host Dortmund at White Hart Lane for the second leg on March 17.
