Tottenham Hotspur are hot on the heels of Chelsea in the race for Premier League glory.
Ian Wright
Arsenal legend Ian Wright offered effusive praise for Spurs, as they continue to steamroll their way towards the Premier League summit, claiming that it would be totally deserved if they go on to win the league title, when writing his regular column for the Sun.
Tottenham have been in sensational form of late, winning their last seven Premier League games at a canter, scoring 19 goals in the process, and conceding just four.
With Chelsea stumbling over recent weeks, losing two of their last three games, Spurs fans feel like this year could be their time, and Wright, who won a Premier League title and two FA Cups with the Gunners, highlighted how impressed he has been with Mauricio Pochettino’s men, when writing his regular column for the Sun:
“If Tottenham win their first league title since 1961, nobody could say they don’t deserve to be champions. Everyone was resigned to it being a procession rather than a race when Chelsea kicked off this month with a ten-point lead at the top. But while everyone else chucked in the towel and handed the crown to the Blues, Spurs have refused to abandon the chase. Now they’ve hunted down their rivals’ lead to just four points — and all the momentum is in their favour.”

The Lilywhites do still have some extremely tough challenges ahead of them, with home games against bitter rivals Arsenal and Manchester United on the horizon.
They also have four tricky away games still to play, against Crystal Palace, West Ham United, Leicester City and Hull City.
And if they manage a return of 18 points from those six fixtures, they have every chance of winning their first league title in 56 years.
