Antonio Conte's Tottenham side took another step closer to securing Champions League football for next season, with their 4-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday. The trip to Villa Park saw a hattrick from Son Heung-min, alongside another Dejan Kulusevski goal, to keep them inside the top four.
Although Arsenal do have a game in hand, Spurs currently sit three points ahead of their north London rivals, with the Lilywhites having just seven matches left to play. After some spells of struggle in the first half, Tottenham dominated large spells of the game to get a much-needed win.
What was even more of a boost for Tottenham was that both Arsenal and Man United, who are also battling for a spot inside the top four, lost their matches ahead of Spurs' tie. Conte alluded to this in his post-match press conference, "It was a great win for us, it wasn't easy. But a great win, especially when you play a game after the games of your rivals in the race for the Champions League and they lost."

However, all is not won for Conte's side with still some tough matches to play. football.london takes a look at the upcoming fixtures for Tottenham, compared to the teams around them in the league.
Tottenham's next six Premier League fixtures
Brighton (H) - April 16
After the successful trip to the AMEX Stadium, Spurs will hope to produce a similar performance to the one that secured them three points just a month ago. However, with Graham Potter's side going into the game on the back of a victory over Arsenal, it could be a tougher battle for the Lilywhites.
Brentford (A) - April 23
The special trip to the Brentford Community Stadium will be one Tottenham fans have been waiting for since their signing of Christian Eriksen in January. The Bees have had a mixture of results in recent games, but Spurs will hope it is a tie they can secure maximum points from.
Leicester (H) - April 30
Tottenham's trip to the King Power Stadium earlier in the year is one Leicester will have wanted to forget quickly, after the 3-2 thriller. Conte will hope his side can display the same amount of fight to get another three points from Brendan Rodgers' side.
Liverpool (A) - May 7
On paper, the trip to Anfield is Spurs' toughest fixture left and the Lilywhites haven't beaten Liverpool at their home ground for over a decade. Conte will hope he can be the man to lead a Tottenham side to a victory when they travel North, but it won't be easy.
Arsenal (H) - May 12
The rearranged North London Derby is set to be one of the biggest in years, with only a fine margin between the two in the league, currently.

Burnley (H) - May 15
