Tottenham's top four hopes are in the balance as they prepare to face rivals Manchester United in a huge clash. The Lilywhites currently sit fifth, six points off of the Red Devils in fourth but with two games extra played, putting them in a precarious situation.
Their hopes of Champions League football took a hit at the weekend after an embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Newcastle at St. James' Park. The away side quickly found themselves 5-0 down after just 20 minutes as the Spurs players were at sea in the opening stages of the match.
As a result, interim manager Cristian Stellini was relieved of his duties along with his coaching staff, leaving Ryan Mason as the new interim in charge for the rest of the campaign. "Sunday's performance against Newcastle was wholly unacceptable," a club statement from chairman Daniel Levy reads.
