Now back in the top four after Sunday's 2-0 win over West Ham, Tottenham will be intent on making sure it stays that way come the end of May. Having dropped out of the Champions League places following a bad run of form at the end of last year, Spurs have capitalised on Newcastle United's recent struggles to win and moved one point ahead of them.
Having the chance to maintain their place in fourth over the next few weeks with a decent set of league fixtures on the schedule, Antonio Conte's men will also be in FA Cup and Champions League action. Taking on Championship high-flyers Sheffield United in the fifth round of the FA Cup next Wednesday, the Lilywhites then face AC Milan in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie a week later.
If Tottenham do indeed advance beyond both and then win their FA Cup quarter-final tie later in March, the team are going to face a defining two-week period at the end of the following month. A key time in the campaign anyway, the last two weeks of April could very well make or break Spurs' 2022/23 ambitions.
