Mauricio Pochettino has reiterated where the Carabao Cup stands on his list of his priorities at Tottenham, insisting he is only targeting 'real trophies.'

Tottenham host West Ham in the fourth round tonight with Pochettino still searching for his first piece of silverware since taking charge nearly three and a half years ago.

The north Londoners last trophy came in this competition in 2008 but it's clear that forthcoming games with Manchester United and Real Madrid will take on critical importance.

Tottenham are preparing for their fourth game in just 11 days and Pochettino, who rest his big-hitters and field a second string side at Wembley, said: "Our objective is to try to win the Premier League and the Champions League. For me, two real trophies.

"That can really change your life. And then the FA Cup, of course, I would like to win.

"I would like to win the Carabao Cup. But I think it will not change the life of Tottenham. If you want to be a big team and if you want to fight for big things, it's impossible if you don't use all the squad and rotate in England.
