Spurs Web Opinion

Even though Spurs have games in hand over their rivals, they have had relatively easy fixtures since Conte’s arrival. The next two months will represent the true test of how far the Italian has taken this side. If Conte’s men are still in touching distance of fourth by the end of February, Champions League qualification would be well and truly on for the Lilywhites.
