Spurs received a huge boost for their top-four chances when Arsenal was defeated last day by the Wolves. The former now looks to defend the four-point cushion with just three games left to play in the league. The job might be extra hard for the team considering they have the additional responsibility of the Champions League semifinals.
This would the fourth top-six team that West Ham has had to take on, on the road, in the last five attempts. As such, their away record is in tatters, and with Tottenham determined to make it to next year’s CL, there’s all the probability in the world for the team to extend their winless run away from home to ten games.
