King confident of top four finish

Ledley King is confident that Tottenham will finish the season in the top four and admits the club head into Christmas in a better position than at any time during his 15 years at the club.

Spurs lost ground in the title chase on Thursday as they drew 1-1 with rivals Chelsea at White Hart Lane. A win would have sent them five points clear of the Blues with a game in hand, but King was quick to remind the Spurs squad and fans that they have never had it so good in recent times.

King said: "I don't remember going into Christmas in such a good position, especially with the points tally that we've managed to get. It's been great so far."
