Regardless of the uncertainty surrounding Antonio Conte's Tottenham future at present, the Lilywhites are still in a very good position to qualify for next season's Champions League. Missing the opportunity to move above Manchester United and into third heading into the international break, Spurs remain in fourth following their 3-3 draw against Southampton.
However, the issue for Tottenham going into their final 10 fixtures is that everyone around them have games in hand to play in what remains of the campaign. The Red Devils in third have two games in hand over Spurs as do Newcastle United and Liverpool, with Brighton & Hove Albion, who are in seventh and seven points behind Conte's men, having played three games less than the north London club.
It promises to be a thrilling end to the campaign in the top-four race with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Whereas Tottenham can only concentrate on themselves and hope what they do in their final 10 fixtures is enough for a top-four berth, there's certainly no guarantee that their rivals capitalise on their games in hand and leave Spurs trailing.
