Tottenham's next five PL games compared to Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur have a great opportunity to potentially extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table, with both Manchester City and Arsenal having some tough fixtures over the next few weeks.

Spurs have undoubtedly been the surprise package of the season so far, with Ange Postecoglou’s men sitting pretty at the summit of the table after eight Premier League games.

While the most optimistic Tottenham fans do not expect the Lilywhites to stay in that position until the end of the season, they now have a great chance to give themselves some breathing space at the top as they have some fairly winnable fixtures coming up.

Spurs face Fulham, Chelsea and Aston Villa at home over the next few weeks, which they would be expected to win, given their home form and the special atmosphere that has been brewing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season.

They also have two relatively winnable games away at Crystal Palace and Wolves.

Spurs Web Opinion

There are not many easy games in the Premier League and it will be interesting to see how we deal with the pressure of going into the games against the likes of Chelsea and Aston Villa as favourites.  We have a great chance to remain at the top of the table heading into the month of December, which would be a phenomenal achievement.
