How Tottenham’s next five Premier League fixtures compare to top 6 rivals

The race for a place in the top four is hotting up, as is the title race. Whether the latter is out of reach for Spurs now remains to be seen, but here’s how the fixtures of the top six teams compare over the coming weeks.

Tottenham had the weekend off this week, as Chelsea had a Carabao Cup final to take care of—one they lost to a young Liverpool side.

Meanwhile, there were Premier League wins for Arsenal, Manchester City, and Aston Villa, leaving Spurs five points adrift of fourth-placed Villa and with a lot of work to do to catch the leading quartet.

However, Ange Postecoglou‘s men now have a three-point cushion and a game in hand over Manchester United, who lost to Fulham at the weekend.
