Tottenham's next five fixtures compared to Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City amid top four race
Tottenham Hotspur secured their first away win since October last night, defeating Nottingham Forest 2-0 in a hugely dominant performance at the City Ground. Spurs frontman Richarlison broke the deadlock on the brink of half-time following an excellent Dejan Kulusevski pass and the Swedish international doubled his side's advantage after the break following a mistake from Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner.
But it wasn't all good news for the north Londoners as midfielder Yves Bissouma received a red card for his reckless challenge on Ryan Yates. That means the Mali international will be suspended for each of Tottenham's next four games, a huge blow to Ange Postecoglou, who already has a host of absentees due to injuries.
The result leaves Spurs sitting fifth in the current standings, level on points with fourth-placed Manchester City. Meanwhile, the Lilywhites are two points behind Aston Villa in third, three behind local rivals Arsenal and four behind league leaders Liverpool.
With all of that being said, football.london has taken a look at Tottenham's next five league fixtures and compared them to their top-four rivals below.
Everton are the Premier League's form team at the minute with three consecutive wins against Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Chelsea arriving in the last eight days. Prior to their 10-point deduction, the Toffees had an impressive away record and they will be looking to continue that on their visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just before Christmas.
