Tottenham Hotspur are unbeaten in five Premier League games, but they’ll have to keep that run going if they hope to close the gap on the teams at the top of the table. Here’s how Spurs’ next five matches compare to their rivals in the top 6.
Spurs defeated Brighton last weekend with a dramatic injury time winner from Brennan Johnson. The win took the Lilywhites back into the top four, and thanks to Manchester United’s win over Aston Villa, they remain there heading into the next round of Premier League games.
Liverpool continue to set the pace at the top of the league, but Manchester City and Arsenal are not far behind them.
