How Tottenham’s next five fixtures compare to their top four rivals
Things do not get any easier for Tottenham following their defeat at Selhurst Park, with some extremely challenging fixtures on the horizon for Ange Postecoglou’s men.
Spurs have to pick themselves up after harrowing loss
The defeat at Selhurst Park came as a huge blow for Postecoglou’s side just as they were looking to build some momentum and move up the table.
The performance raises some serious doubts about the Lilywhites’ consistency and about their ability to grind out results away from home.
The issue for Spurs is that they may not find it easy to bounce back from this defeat as some tough fixtures await them over the next few weeks.
Tottenham next five fixtures
Spurs now have to pick themselves up for a big Carbao Cup round of 16 clash, with Manchester City visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday.
Following that game, the Lilywhites have a huge six-pointer in the race for the top four, with Aston Villa next to visit North London.
Postecoglou’s men then face a tough away game against Galatasaray in the Europa League before hosting Ipswich Town in the Premier League and making the trip up to the Etihad to take on the champions.
