Tottenham Hotspur defender Michael Dawson has hinted that the club can go on another long unbeaten run to seal a top-four finish.

Andre Villas-Boas's side went 12 games without defeat towards the end of 2012 to move into the top three, but defeats to Liverpool and Fulham have allowed teams to gain ground on them.

North London rivals Arsenal sit four points behind Spurs in the Premier League table with a game in hand, but Dawson has said that his club can rediscover their unbeaten form.

"Everyone was disappointed with the result against Fulham but that's behind us now and we have to push on again," Dawson told Spurs TV Online.

"We showed exactly what we're capable of when we went on that unbeaten run and we've got to look to do something similar between now and the end of the season.

"We know it will be tough, but the determination is there."

Spurs travel to Swansea City on Saturday afternoon.
