Tottenham Hotspur have come close in the last two seasons to becoming Premier League champions.
However, in the current campaign, Mauricio Pochettino and his men have had to settle for a top-four challenge due to the dominance of Manchester City, who currently hold a 13-point advantage over the rest of the pack.
At the weekend, Spurs edged closer to securing a Champions League spot with a 2-1 victory over Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium.
Their challenge was helped by Sunday’s result between Chelsea and West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.
Antonio Conte’s side, who reside fifth in the standings, were held to a 1-1 draw on home soil, which means that Tottenham are just three victories away from cementing their spot in the top four.
Next up for Pochettino’s side is a home clash against champions elect Man City, who have had a difficult week.
Pep Guardiola witnessed his team suffer back-to-back defeats, the first of which was a 3-0 loss to Liverpool in the first round of their Champions League quarter-final clash.
At the weekend, City squandered the chance to secure the league title by throwing away a 2-0 lead and losing 3-2 to arch rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.
After Spurs stretched their unbeaten league run to 14 matches, Christian Eriksen made it clear that the team remain focused.
