Tottenham's manager Ange Postecoglou has challenged his team to improve their performance in away games against the Premier League's top sides.

Spurs have won only one of their last 16 fixtures against the Premier League 'big six'. But Postecoglou says he isn't concerned about Tottenham's past record in these matches and believes his team has been performing well in recent games, even against top teams.

Ahead of their visit to Old Trafford to play Manchester United today, he said: "I think it is important if you want to be successful, you need to be able to perform in those big games, particularly away from home." "I'm not a great one at looking at the historical references to these things, I wasn't there so I don't know whether there was something endemic in the club that didn't allow that," and added, "I just tackle from when I get into a club." "We went to Arsenal, City (and drew), (beat) Liverpool here, we've done OK in those games.

Not just results but performance-wise, I don't think we've walked away from any of those games and thought there was a massive gap between us and them." Looking forward to their game against United, he said: "Old Trafford is another place where you know the atmosphere is going to be a great challenge for us.
