In the last round Spurs played away against one of their rivals for a place in the European competition, Everton, and again failed to achieve success, ending the match with a 2:2 draw. This draw was just a continuation of Tottenham’s losing streak in the championship, which has already reached the mark of three matches in a row. Also, with a score of 2:2 Jose Mourinho’s charges then played against Newcastle during this period and lost to Manchester United (1:3). The defeat from the Mancunians happened just in the home arena. Moreover, “Tottenham” was the first to open the score, but completely failed in the second half of the meeting. In general, the Londoners’ defense in the last segment of the season looks rather weak. In four of the previous five rounds they conceded at least two goals per game. We must say that before the defeat from Manchester United, Mourinho’s wards won in their home arena in three matches in a row. Among the beaten were Crystal Palace (4:0), Burnley (4:0) and West Bromwich (2:0). In general, Tottenham’s play in the home arena is not impressive. Of the 15 home matches, they won only seven. They lost five more meetings and drew three times. They are currently the sixth highest in the league. The standings of Tottenham make it possible to play for the maximum result in this meeting. Before the upcoming duel “Spurs” are in seventh place in the standings. Londoners have 50 points. This is five less than the fourth West Ham. The chances of getting into the top four are good, as Tottenham will play four of the six remaining league matches at home. Yesterday, the resignation of Jose Mourinho was announced. The name of the new mentor has not yet been announced by the management. A serious loss for the London club was the injury of striker Harry Kane. Dane Scarlett kept him company in the infirmary. Questionable are Ben Davis and Matt Doherty.
