Two successive home defeats to Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers last week has put a serious dent in Tottenham Hotspur’s top four hopes this season.
Antonio Conte ’s side had got themselves right back in the mix for Champions League football next season after going unbeaten in his first nine Premier League fixtures in charge of the club.
But a third loss to Chelsea of the month on January 19 was then followed by the Southampton and Wolves defeats last week, meaning Spurs have gained no ground on those above them of late.
