Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has played down his side's chances of winning the Premier League this season, highlighting Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea as 'competitive' teams.
The London club moved up to second in the table on Saturday with an impressive 6-2 victory over Leicester City. Conte's side are yet to lose a game in the league so far this season, winning five and drawing only twice.
Last term, Spurs were guided to a top four finish by Conte and this time around they are being tipped to go one step further and compete for the major honours. However, the Italian has played down their chances of winning the title and believes they have only just begun their journey to winning silverware.

“We have to try to do our best," Conte told BBC Sport. "The Premier League is very difficult. In my opinion I think we have just started a path to fight for something important. We have just started. City, Liverpool and Chelsea have been very competitive and won a lot.
“Every season they fight to win competitions. In our mind and heart the ambition has to be to grow. When you have a massive game every three days you need a good squad. Sometimes you can rest or start on the bench and the next game you will play. We have had a lot of games in a row, every three days. He (Son) played every game."
Liverpool's start to the season has been far more inconsistent as they sit eighth in the table with nine points out of a possible 18. However, they will have a game in hand after this weekend's clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was postponed ahead of the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Manchester City, on the other hand, went top of the league on Saturday following their victory away at Wolves. Arsenal will be afforded the opportunity to leapfrog them on Sunday as they visit Brentford in the lunchtime kick-off.
