Pochettino will hope to set things right domestically by continuing his remarkable record against his former employers.But the Argentine will have to watch from the stands after he was given a two-game touchline ban for angrily confronting Mike Dean after the 2-1 defeat to Burnley. “I am in shock. I still think it’s unfair. I can do nothing,” he said.“I feel a bit sad with the punishment. I need to wait and see what they put on the letter and the reason to ban me with two games. That is unbelievable, no?”
