Tottenham's next three Premier League fixtures compared to Arsenal and Chelsea in top-four race

Tottenham faces an important end to the season as Antonio Conte's side looks to clamber into the top-four. Spurs currently sit fifth in the Premier League and are guaranteed at least Europa League next season following Manchester United's defeat to Brighton.

But the battle for Champions League football is far from over. Arsenal are now just a point ahead of their north London rivals, though with a game in hand following their win over West Ham. Tottenham are five points off of Chelsea.

Behind Spurs sit the Red Devils and West Ham in sixth and seventh, respectively, though neither are capable of raining on Conte's parade. With it all to play for after Tottenham's draw with Liverpool, the Whites can now acquire a maximum of 71 points.

If Chelsea were to beat Leeds on Wednesday and if Spurs were to drop any more points, then Thomas Tuchel would seal the top-four place. Let's not forget there's a north London derby to be played too!

With that in mind, football.london compares Tottenham's next three Premier League fixtures to their rivals.

Arsenal (H) - May 12

A north London derby with it all to play for. A huge tie in the race for Champions League qualification. The potential to be an absolute classic and definition of a massive game. The Gunners have won each of the previous two meetings with Tottenham. But, Spurs enjoyed a rich vein of their own from December 2018 to December 2020, winning three and drawing two.

Burnley (H) - May 15

Burnley are fighting for survival, and they're doing a pretty good job! The Clarets are unbeaten in their previous five Premier League games, winning four out of the last four. Tough game.

Norwich (A) - May 22

The final day of the season. Spurs end the Premier League campaign with a massive game against an already relegated Norwich side.

Tottenham hasn't lost at home to the Canaries in the league since 2012, but the north Londoners did suffer a shock defeat to the Norfolk-based side in March 2020 via a FA Cup fifth round penalty shootout.

Arsenal's next four games

Leeds United (H)

Tottenham (A)

Newcastle United (A)

Everton (H)

Chelsea's next three games

Leeds United (A)

Leicester City (H)

Watford (H)
