Tottenham Hotspur’s survival battle could now come down to the final two games of the season, although results elsewhere have handed Spurs a timely boost heading into a crucial week.
There is no denying that if Tottenham Hotspur are to secure safety this season, they must focus on themselves.
As things stand, Spurs have just two games remaining, starting with a clash against Chelsea in the penultimate gameweek before facing Everton at home on the final day of the campaign.
Tottenham’s home form will certainly leave many supporters worried about how that meeting with the Toffees could unfold as the club continue their fight for survival.
Before then, though, all focus remains on the clash against Chelsea this weekend – a crucial fixture in the relegation battle, with Spurs able to confirm their Premier League status with a draw at Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham handed survival boost by Newcastle before Everton clash

However, should Tottenham fall short against the Blues, the final game of the season will become hugely significant.
Everton will travel to N17 and Spurs will likely need at least a point against David Moyes’ side to secure survival.
