Premier League: Analysing the Champions League qualification chances of Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea - Football Predictions

#2 Tottenham Hotspurs

Tottenham is often called the 'Bottle FC', and to be honest, it is not completely wrong.

It has been a rollercoaster ride for Spurs this season. The highlight of the year for them is that they turned themselves from title contenders into top four strugglers within a month. Mauricio Pochetinno's men have terribly struggled to keep up with their form this season, and as a result, they are the only team from the 'Big Six' to have defeats in double-digit numbers (10) this season.

Tottenham have finally gotten back to winning ways, as they dispatched Crystal Palace with an easy 2-0 win. However, they have a difficult run of games coming up, notably, the one against Manchester City.

Tottenham were unlucky to not bag a win against Liverpool last weekend, but they held their fort and rose to the challenge, winning every battle that transpired on the pitch last night against Crystal Palace, eventually winning the game. What makes their run-in tough is that have to play Man City thrice in under a month; twice in UCL and once in the Premier League at Etihad.

Tottenham Hotspur only have to pit their wits against two strong sides in the coming weeks; City and Everton, while their arch-rivals West Ham have a game against Spurs too. It does look a bit unfair to say they won't make it into the top four, but Spurs have a reputation of not rising to the big occasion, which leads me to conclude that they are likely to miss out on the top four finish.

Top four finish probability: 5/10
