Tottenham's next five Premier League fixtures compared with Man United, Newcastle and Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur have endured a rollercoaster 10 days, to say the least.

The Lillywhites fell to an embarrassing 4-1 defeat against Leicester City last weekend before they lost 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie against Serie A giants AC Milan. But Spurs were able to bounce back on Sunday afternoon, securing a 2-0 victory over London rivals West Ham United.

That result means Antonio Conte's side are now fourth in the current Premier League standings, leapfrogging Newcastle United, albeit the Magpies do have a game in hand on the north Londoners. With that being said, football.london has now taken a closer look at Tottenham's league fixtures in comparison to their fellow top-four rivals.

Chelsea (H) - February 26

Next up for Spurs in the league is a home clash against London rivals Chelsea. The Blues have struggled all season and currently sit 10th in the table.

These two sides played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture earlier this term, with Antonio Conte and former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel clashing at the full-time whistle.

Wolves (A) - March 4

Wolves have been in much better form since Julen Lopetegui's arrival in the managerial dugout towards the latter stages of last year. They clinched an excellent 3-0 victory over Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool before defeating fellow relegation-threatened Southampton 2-1 in a hugely dramatic game last weekend.

However, Bournemouth were able to stop them from winning three on the bounce, clinching a 1-0 victory on Saturday afternoon. When Tottenham took on Wolves in N17 they were able to bag all three points thanks to Harry Kane, who netted the only goal of the game.

Nottingham Forest (H) - March 11

When Spurs played Forest at the City Ground back in August, the scoreline was 2-0 to the away side but it could have easily gone the other way in what was a hugely thrilling end-to-end game. Kane scored both of the goals that day as well, also missing a penalty in the process.

Forest have begun to put a decent run of games together recently, losing just one of their last seven outings, holding the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea to 1-1 draws in that time.

Southampton (A) - March 18

Spurs then take on another team towards the bottom of the table when they travel to St Mary's to face Southampton. The Saints are currently rooted to the bottom of the table following a run of defeats that saw former head coach Nathan Jones relieved of his duties last week.

However, the cliche bounce following the sacking of a manager was seen in full effect on Saturday when they were able to see off Chelsea with a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

Everton (A) - April 1

Everton are another team to sack their manager since the turn of the year, replacing Frank Lampard with veteran coach Sean Dyche. The Toffees have won two of their three outings since Dyche's arrival, including a 1-0 triumph over Tottenham's local rivals Arsenal.

They have tightened up their defence massively since appointing the former Burnley boss, having previously leaked a high volume of goals during Lampard's time at Goodison Park.

Manchester United next five fixtures:

Liverpool (A) - March 5
