When club football resumes following the international break, Tottenham Hotspur will have a handful of matches left as they push for a top-four finish.
The north London club is coming off defeating West Ham United and leaping over The Hammer and Manchester United in the Premier League standings. The Daily Mail relayed the remarks made by manager Antonio Conte on how he will be treating the final stretch of the season.
Conte wants his squad to treat these last nine fixtures, including one versus Arsenal, who’s ahead of them in the table, as if they were a final.
“The only way to put pressure on Arsenal is to get three points, to win. There are nine games to go, and for us, every game has to be a final,” Conte said
Tottenham’s two most challenging fixtures left in the season will be the North London Derby against Arsenal and when they travel to Anfield in early May against Liverpool.
However, the rest of their opponents are below them in the table, and Spurs will be considered the favorite. As a result, they can’t afford to drop any points against them, especially considering Arsenal still has Chelsea, Manchester United, and West Ham United, with two of those fixtures being on the road.

Looks like a real chance, looks like we can’t possibly fail, all we need is some spirit and fight and we should be home and dry.
My God, what am I saying???????? I have been sucked in again!!!!
What difference would it make if by the time we meet them we are 6 points ahead. Liverpool are not in the position because they doing by themselves.
I’m joking, obviously I hope we do it and if not Europa qualification is better than the Conference
Men , where is the positivity ? Yeah , we’re Spurs , we mess up . But that has to end sometime , no reason not to be now . And as far as run ins are concerned , we’ve had our battles throughout the season , not at the end like Arsenal .
When you look at their fixtures , if they hang on to 4th you’d have to congratulate them . Someone has to be 4th and I dont wanna be on United , that leaves us and the gooners , this is surely what you’d want isn’t , a face-off us & them for “the glory ” . Sport is for now and the memory , lets go get Champions League . Wow , what a game to savour !!!!!!!!
It’s out of our hands now, Arse have the initiative. That may help us a bit as we usually crumble under pressure, but I really can’t see it happening tbh.
We crumble in finals Conte…hypnotise them that we’re playing Norwich every week maybe instead
