Spurs face testing run of fixtures



Spurs have been on a decent run of late and with their draw at South Hampton find themselves only two points outside of the top four, but the north London side are set for some challenging times as they face a possibly season defining run of fixtures. The Lilly Whites are scheduled to take on three of their top six rivals within the space of just 12 days.

Spurs will first welcome second placed Manchester United at Wembley on Wednesday followed by a trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool and round it all off with a home north London derby against bitter rivals Arsenal; talk about a tough run of games.

As tasking as those fixtures move prove to be it represents an opportunity for Spurs to rope in the teams higher up on the table and in the processing giving themselves some degree of breathing space with a rejuvenated Arsenal just three points behind them. The good news is that they take on United on Wednesday who they’ve had positive results against in recent times. Spurs have won their last three games at home against United.

Additionally, Harry Kane has been in riveting form scoring nine goals from the last six matches and will be looking to add to his tally of 30 goals so far this season, and most importantly currently sits on 99 Premier League goals and what better way would you choose to cap off a century of Premier League goals than against Manchester United at Wembley of all places?

 Despite what many may believe though, Spurs are more than a one-man show with the return of Kenyan Midfielder Victor Wanyama coinciding with their recent run of form. Dele Alli is also up with the best of them in the league in terms of the number of assists with seven, and has two goals and four assists in the past six games. Even more significant is the form of the impressive Heung Min Son lately and Spurs might also could be boosted by the possible arrival of Lucas Moura from PSG this week.
