Comparing Tottenham’s Next Five Premier League Matches to Leeds, West Ham, Nottingham
A weekend of stalemates has left the relegation fight largely unchanged. Leeds United and Nottingham Forest both drew, while West Ham and Tottenham earned encouraging results.
Spurs sit on 30 points. Leeds have 32. Nottingham Forest and West Ham each hold 29. Four teams remain locked in a battle to avoid the drop.
Current form and recent results
Leeds were reduced to 10 men for the entire second half at Selhurst Park. They took a point from Crystal Palace despite the numerical disadvantage. Nottingham drew with Fulham and will see that as two points dropped.
West Ham battled to a good result against Manchester City. Tottenham secured a draw at Liverpool while missing many regulars. Spurs were without up to 13 players at Anfield.
Context off the pitch
Tottenham face a Champions League round-of-16 second leg with Atlético Madrid. They go into that tie 5-2 down on aggregate. Staying fit and focused will be vital before the Premier League run-in.
Richarlison was mentioned for his past impact at Everton four years ago. The situation could still hinge on moments like Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s missed penalty.
