title race right to the wire.
Claudio Ranieri's men dropped points for the first time since March 1 on Sunday in their draw with West Ham, and Spurs capitalised in style with an empathic 4-0 win over Stoke on Monday.
Mauricio Pochettino's men ran amok in what was supposed to be a difficult fixture at the Britannia Stadium, as Spurs stars Harry Kane and Dele Alli netted a brace apiece in a fine display.
Victory over the Potters also cut Leicester's lead at the top to just five points and, while there are only four rounds of matches to go, Dembele has promised to keep the pressure up.
"This is the situation where you can see if we are ready or not," the Belgium international said. "The pressure is there.
"Everyone knows it will be very difficult, but we play like this so you can see the mentality is there. Everyone wants it and we just manage to keep playing our game.
"In the past it was very difficult as well. Everyone saw the way we played: confident, direct, creative, positive.
"One of the best performances - that says something. We just want it and we're not scared of it."
Dembele is "very proud" of the way Tottenham triumphed in the Potteries and hopes to take the title race to the final day of the campaign.
Spurs' hopes look faint given the number of matches remaining, but striker Jamie Vardy's absence could prove a significant blow for Leicester.
The 29-year-old will miss Sunday's clash with Swansea after being sent off against West Ham, with his reaction potentially bringing an increased ban after being charged with improper conduct by the Football Association.
"It's one of their best players so it's good for us of course but we concentrate on our own game," Dembele said of Vardy.
"It's good everyone is there, nobody is injured. Everyone is mentally ready so that's the most important thing."
