Tottenham’s next six Premier League fixtures compared to top-four rivals 

Tottenham Hotspur have a difficult set of fixtures coming up ahead of the World Cup but so do some of their other rivals for a top-four spot.

Spurs fell to their first defeat of the season on Saturday as Arsenal emerged 3-1 winners at the Emirates, with the home side being aided by Emerson Royal’s sending off just after the hour mark.

The result means that Antonio Conte’s men find themselves four points behind their North London rivals and three points behind Manchester City.

The Lilywhites will have to pick themselves up very quickly, with matches coming thick and fast over the next few weeks, including some big Champions League and Premier League fixtures.

Here are the next six Premier League games that Tottenham have coming up:

Brighton (A) – October 8

Everton (H) – October 15

All of these teams have quite a challenging schedule in October. So, the table could look quite different in a month. The next six games will prove an acid test for Tottenham’s ambitions this season on he back of their disappointing defeat at the Emirates.
