In the space of just three games, Tottenham Hotspur have gone from one of the favourites to finish in the top four to outside hopefuls.
With Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea clear at the top of the Premier League table, there is only one Champions League qualification spot left and there are no less than five teams who could realistically take it.
Thanks to the resurgence led by new manager Antonio Conte, Spurs had put themselves in pole position for the top four by the turn of the year, but three consecutive league defeats to Chelsea, Southampton and, most recently, Wolverhampton Wanderers, have killed the club’s momentum.
