Tottenham Hotspur have once again performed admirably this season.

Spurs currently sit in second position in the Premier League table, 10 points adrift of league leaders Chelsea, but with 10 games to go, everything is still to play for, and a run of sustained victories between now and the end of the campaign will be needed if they are to exert any kind of pressure whatsoever on to Antonio Conte’s men.

Tottenham arguably have the easier run-in than the Blues, having played all of their tough away games, although one point to note is that Mauricio Pochettino’s men face six away trips during their final 10 game stretch.

Here’s how we think Spurs will finish off their campaign:

Tottenham run-in predictions:

Burnley 1-1 Tottenham

Swansea City 0-3 Tottenham

Tottenham 3-0 Watford

Tottenham 4-0 Bournemouth

Leicester City 1-1 Tottenham

Crystal Palace 1-2 Tottenham

Tottenham 3-1 Arsenal

West Ham 1-3 Tottenham

Tottenham 1-1 Man United

Hull City 1-3 Tottenham

Seven wins and three draws from those outings would see Spurs take 24 points from the remaining 30 available, leaving them on 83 points after 38 games.

Which would mean Chelsea only require 15 points from their final 10 games in order to win the league.

So going by that, it looks as though Tottenham will need to win their remaining 10 games, if they are to have any chance whatsoever of catching Chelsea, and even then, that might not be enough.
