Spurs are in fine form having won seven of their last 10 games in the Premier League since their 5-2 drubbing at the hands of bitter rivals Arsenal in November and currently occupy the coveted fourth and final Champions League place.

Parker believes the fact the north Londoners have missed out on Europe's premier competition so narrowly in the past two seasons will urge them keep playing well.

"It's in everyone's mind because it's happened before. We need to maintain our performances," the England international said.

Spurs finished fourth last season, but were forced to surrender their place to Chelsea after they won the competition and qualified as holders.

Parker added: "We have some tough fixtures coming up but we've got some players coming back from injury. Hopefully we can freshen it up that way. I'm sure we'll be fine.

"We've lost some world-class players but we've added some too. Maybe we'll learn from the last two years and stay strong."
