Tottenham Hotspur are three points clear of Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested to Football.London that Arsenal can sneak past them in the top four of the Premier League if they are not careful.

Spurs will head into the final game of the season on Sunday afternoon fourth in the league table with 70 points from 37 matches.

Tottenham are three points clear of bitter North London rivals and fifth-placed Arsenal.

While Spurs will take on Everton at White Hart Lane in the league in a few hours’ time, the Gunners will face Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the league.

Arsenal have a goal difference of +20, while Tottenham have a goal difference of +28, meaning that the Gunners will have to win big against the Clarets.

Tottenham manager Pochettino has suggested that the Gunners can still cause an upset today.

Pochettino told Football.London: “In football, all can happen. It’s about belief. We must believe that we need to win on Sunday. Our objective must be to finish third.

“That’s the way we need to take the game and then what happens, happens. The most important is the responsibility we need to feel, we need to compete in our best to win the game. Don’t think too much, only think to play well to finish the season.”

Whatever Arsenal do today, Tottenham have full control over their own destiny, as all the North London outfit need against Everton to guarantee their place in the top four of the Premier League table is a draw.
