Tottenham lost 1-0 to Brighton in the lunchtime kickoff on Saturday, hours before Arsenal also lost 1-0 to Southampton. Spurs had the chance to increase the gap between them and Arsenal and the Gunners had the chance to catch up to their north London rivals, however, both sides couldn't salvage any points.
This leaves the Lilywhites in the fourth spot, on 54 points and Mikel Arteta's side currently sit fifth and three points behind, after Man United's defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday. Arsenal do have a game in hand, which will be played at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday and will be a key chance for them to be level on points with Tottenham, if they can secure three points.
It was only a matter of months ago that Spurs were around seventh in the table and fighting to try and climb their way up. Now Antonio Conte has had time to work with his side and settle in, improvements seem to have been made both on and off the pitch.
