Every game between now and the end of May is absolutely crucial in the race for a spot at the top of the Premier League table, so here’s a look at how Tottenham Hotspur’s next five fixtures compare to the teams around them.
Tottenham are currently in fifth place in the Premier League table, five points behind Aston Villa in fourth, but with a game in hand on Unai Emery’s side.
Above them, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal appear to be locked in a three-way title race, with just one point separating each team. Third-placed Arsenal are six points clear of Villa, however.
Meanwhile, Manchester United bring up the rear in sixth place, but are six points behind Spurs and have played a game more than Ange Postecoglou‘s men. Still, everything could change in the blink of an eye, with one win turning the race on its head.
