Spurs can go five points clear at the top of the Premier League table if they beat Crystal Palace on Friday night, but Dejan Kulusevski is refusing to get carried away, and simply wants the squad to continue having fun.
A fairly simple, yet unexceptional 2-0 win over Fulham on Monday night helped Tottenham return to the summit of the Premier League. The Lilywhites are now two points clear of both Arsenal and Manchester City.
Ange Postecoglou‘s side have made an incredible start to the season and remain unbeaten after the first nine league games, with seven wins and two draws.
Up next for the North London club is a trip across the city to take on Crystal Palace. Spurs will be hoping Heung-min Son and James Maddison can maintain their excellent form and fire them to a win that will take them five points clear of their nearest rivals.

Kulusevski says having fun is most important thing
Speaking to Standard Sport after the win over Fulham, Dejan Kulusevski looked ahead to the game against Palace, and also reiterated how important it is that the Spurs squad continue to enjoy their football.
On the prospect of going five points clear, Kulusevski said: “It is early [for title talk], we will see what happens. Everything can change so we don’t need to talk about that but we must live for the day with a smile, train hard and not forget who we are. We must try to get better every day.
“It is not important what people say. The important thing is to work hard, be humble, listen to the coach and keep the smiles on faces. Then at the end of the season, we will see where we are.”
On the topic of smiles, Kulusevski added: “You have got to have fun. It is more important than everything, of course! You have got to have fun when you work and when you are playing. That is number one.
“Of course, we are very disappointed with the second half but it was still very good to come away with three points.
“[When I played for] Atalanta Under-19s we had the same kind of feeling. We had very, very much fun. Every day was fantastic. We just played football every day. I now have that little feeling now.”
