Cristian Romero running huge Tottenham risk in Man Utd and Arsenal Champions League race

Antonio Conte and his Tottenham side have it all to do if they are to seal a place in the top four come the end of the 2021/22 Premier League season. Spurs missed a huge opportunity on Saturday following their 3-2 defeat at Manchester United but the results of others could still leave the door open for them.

However, Spurs taking advantage is going to come down to Conte's men finally fixing their form that has seen them blow the chance to take advantage in the race for a Champions League spot. The Lilywhites still have two games in hand on United, West Ham and Wolves above them, with Arsenal in fourth currently playing one game less than Tottenham.

The fact Spurs have played 27 games this season means a number of Premier League players are currently walking the suspension tightrope ahead of the 32nd league fixture. Rules state that players who accumulate 10 yellow cards in Premier League matches, up to and including their team's 32nd fixture, will serve a two-match suspension in the competition.
