Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham squad is now set for the second half of the campaign. It was a busy end to the January transfer window for the club as they completed a double signing in the final two days of the winter market.

Ange Postecoglou has tended to play down the significance of the domestic cups at Tottenham, previously insisting that they were not a quick fix for the club's problems, but the head coach made no attempt to dismiss the potential impact of beating Liverpool on Thursday.
