London: Hugo Lloris insists Tottenham still believe they can win the Premier League despite the shattering blow of their FA Cup semi-final defeat against title rivals Chelsea.

Mauricio Pochettino's side left Wembley broken hearted on Saturday after dominating for long periods before conceding two late goals in a dramatic 4-2 loss.

Psychologically scarred
The psychological damage inflicted on Tottenham's players can't be underestimated and they have little time to recover as the title race heats up this week.

Pochettino's men travel to in-form Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

While Lloris acknowledged Chelsea now have renewed confidence they can hold off Tottenham's challenge in the final six games of the season, the France goalkeeper is convinced his club won't surrender without a fight. "We know Chelsea have an advantage but we need to believe until the end," Lloris said.

"We knew before that this game can have maybe an impact for the rest of the season. But in football you need to believe because everything is possible and we don't know what will happen in the next few weeks.

'We'll keep working'
"They are human and that's the case for us. The only thing that we can do is keep working hard, keep believing and playing the way we have played in the last few weeks," he added.
