(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur should no longer be considered "underdogs" after sustaining a Premier League title challenge for the second consecutive season, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said ahead of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final between the two sides.

Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs, who lost the league title to Leicester City and finished third last campaign, trail leaders Chelsea by four points with six games to play this season.
