Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says that he "still feels bad" about the way his side finished the season last year, ultimately finishing below Arsenal in third place.

Mauricio Pochettino is still haunted by the way Spurs finished last season after spending the majority of the campaign as title contenders, above fierce rivals Arsenal.

However, a late slump saw Tottenham finish in third place, behind fierce rivals Arsenal.

"I still feel bad about last season," the Argentine said. "It was so easy to be above Arsenal in that moment.

"It's true that we felt very disappointed after the Chelsea game but with two games ahead and only one point (needed) to be above them, that was very frustrating and disappointing.

"It was difficult to not think about that situation. But we have another opportunity now and we will see what happens".

Arsenal and Tottenham go head to head on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium.
