Spurs Have A Big Chance To Create A Gap Now

Spurs players celebrate

The upcoming period is a very interesting one for Tottenham and affords us an opportunity to place ourselves in a very favourable position.

The busy Christmas and New year period is upon us, which will place pressure on all teams. Having said that Liverpool are getting a total of 10 days rest between games, the most of any side and Spurs are getting 6 days, the least of any side.

We sit 2nd in the table having played more away games than anyone else at the halfway stage, indeed 11 of out 19 fixtures have been away and we have won 9 of them, the most in the top 5 leagues in Europe.

That gives us a period of home games, five of our next seven are at home and we have a decent record at Wembley.

A resurgent Manchester United won't be easy but we put six past Everton in a seemingly tough away game.

Compare that to Arsenal who now have Liverpool away, Chelsea at home and Manchester City away or Chelsea who have Man City and Arsenal or Manchester City who have Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal and the potential to open a gap is obvious, according to UK betting experts opinion.

If you sat down and worked out how you expect each game to go until these fixtures are played out around 10th February, what would the projected Premier League table look like then?


The odds generally are currently:
Liverpool 8/11
Manchester City 7/4
SPURS 8/1
Chelsea 100/1
Arsenal 250/1

The Top 4 finish odds are currently generally:
Liverpool 1/1000
Manchester City 1/50
SPURS 1/16
Chelsea 2/5
Arsenal 9/4

We could see those odds shorten if results for us are good and with our opponents taking points off each other.

Seven very winnable fixtures, seven fixtures that could put us in a very promising position and give us something to build another top 4 finish upon. Man City losing to Crystal Palace and Leicester City, Chelsea losing to Leicester City, Arsenal losing to Southampton and drawing with Brighton has changed the complexion of the table.

Recent results show nothing can be taken for granted. It shows Spurs must not take any game for granted, we must treat every game as a big game.

Another top four finish, at worse, will allow us to sell some players this summer and bring in some fresh blood, while having developed some of our youngsters, like Juan Foyth and Oliver Skipp.

A run of fixtures to look to look forward to.
