(Reuters) - Jose Mourinho says he was encouraged by Tottenham Hotspur's form since the restart of the Premier League but admitted they had left their push for a top-four finish a little too late.
Spurs have won five of their last eight Premier League games to move up to seventh in the standings with 58 points, one point and place behind Wolverhampton Wanderers and five points behind Chelsea, who occupy the final Champions League qualification spot.
"If I focus just on Palace, I have to say it's a final, a final that can give us Europe. So, it's a big match, a big final and let's focus on this match," Mourinho told the club's website. "My feeling is, in normal conditions, we would fill the top four without problems and we probably wouldn't need more than a couple more matches to do that."
