(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur will not let up in their fight for a top-four finish, interim manager Cristian Stellini said before their Premier League home game against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.

Spurs are fifth in the league standings with 50 points, three behind Manchester United in fourth. They have played one game more than United and two more than sixth-placed Brighton, who are just four points behind the London club.

Stellini said the extensive injury list has hampered his ability to make tactical changes at Spurs, adding:"We have not enough players, we have a lot of injured players. However, Stellini said Brazilian forward Richarlison, who has not played since being substituted five minutes into Spurs' 3-3 draw with Southampton last month, is"getting closer" to a return.

Stellini also came to the defence of Harry Kane against suggestions the striker went down easily after a scuffle with Abdoulaye Doucoure in a 1-1 draw with Everton on Monday, which led to the midfielder's red card in the 58th minute.
