Antonio Conte's unlikely boost over Arsenal could help Tottenham preparations for Leicester

Just when Tottenham's season seemed to be going from strength to strength, they not only lost to Brighton, but then produced a lacklustre performance at the Brentford Community Stadium. This has now left Antonio Conte's side two points behind Arsenal and they have an uphill battle to secure a spot inside the top four.

Spurs now have five games left to play, including a trip to Anfield, as well as the rescheduled North London Derby. They will have to focus on getting as many points as possible from their remaining games and hope the teams around them drop points to give the Lilywhites a further boost.

After their trip across the capital on Saturday, they will return to N17 for their next clash. Leicester will travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and hope that there isn't a repeat of the thrilling 3-2 defeat at the King Power Stadium, earlier in the season.
