Tottenham kept their top-four dreams alive on Wednesday evening with an important 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. Needing to gain all three points on the south coast following the late 3-2 defeat at Manchester United in their previous game, goals from Cristian Romero and Harry Kane saw Spurs come out on top.
Arsenal's 2-0 defeat against Liverpool on the same evening now means that Antonio Conte's side are three points off their north London rivals having played one game more. However, the sides are due to meet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium later in the season in a game which could have a major say in the top-four race.
Keeping three clean sheets in their last four Premier League games, Conte needs more of the same from Romero, Eric Dier and Ben Davies over the coming weeks to give the Lilywhites the best chance possible of finishing fourth. One thing the head coach ideally could do without is Romero's recent spate of yellow cards continuing as he is very close to picking up a two-match ban.
