Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen says that his side are capable of returning to form over the Christmas period, after a mixed run of form recently.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen has said that his side are capable of returning to form over the Christmas period, after a mixed run of form recently.

Spurs lost 4-1 to Premier League leaders Manchester City last weekend, and play Burnley on Saturday with a chance to make ground up on the top four.

Mauricio Pochettino's men, who are currently seventh, will welcome the return of key players including Moussa Dembele and Harry Winks, according to Belgian centre-back Vertonghen.

"Obviously we lost 4-1 and City played very well but we can - and will - do a lot better in the next couple of games," the defender told ESPN.

"We've got a lot of guys coming back from injuries - there's still a couple out of course - but I think we're looking very good at the moment. It's good for us to get together, to know what we've achieved in the last couple of seasons.

"We still have the same group and we're still with each other. I see no reason not to get back on track during Christmas. A bit of luck is missing this year, but only Kyle Walker left us from that team and I see no reason we can't do the same again."

Tottenham face Southampton, Swansea City and West Ham United after playing the Clarets this weekend.
