Defender desperate to clinch third place in Premier League

William Gallas has urged his Tottenham team-mates to give everything for the remainder of the season and not worry about fatigue. Spurs drew back level on points with third-placed Arsenal on Sunday after beating Swansea 3-1 at White Hart Lane to end a run of five Premier League matches without a victory. Chelsea and Newcastle also remain in contention for UEFA Champions League qualification but Gallas has set his sights on a top-three finish and is confident Harry Redknapp's men can embark on a winning run. The French defender insists that it is important at this late stage of the campaign to approach every game with a positive attitude.

Every game a final

"I think the confidence is back. After the draw against Chelsea and the victories against Bolton and Swansea, the confidence is back," the defender told Tottenham's official website. "Now, like I said to everyone, every game is a final for us. We have to be strong if we want to finish third. "We have to play every game with 100 per cent, and at the end of the season we will go on our holidays and feel that maybe we deserved to finish third. "Before that we have to give everything. Before the game we have to speak together and we have to know that we are not tired, and that we can be tired at the end of the season."
