Tottenham delivered a boost to their top four bid by beating Brighton on Saturday afternoon.
Goals from Son Heung-min and Harry Kane were enough to down the Seagulls, who struck back through Lewis Dunk. However, Kane’s 23rd league goal of the season saw Spurs steal all three points late on.
With the fixtures still coming thick and fast, here’s who Spurs have got in the next month or so.
Tottenham are next in action when they host relegation-threatened Bournemouth in north London next Saturday.
Spurs needed a dramatic turnaround to win the return fixture after going 2-0 down, with goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies and Rodrigo Bentancur eventually earning them all three points.
A run of fixtures that will have a massive say in Spurs’ Champions League bid starts with a trip to Newcastle towards the end of April.
The Magpies were victorious at Tottenham earlier this season and defeat here for Cristian Stellini and his squad would leave them with an unsurmountable mountain to climb to reach the top four.
There’ll be little time to dally on the result of the Newcastle game, with Manchester United making the trip down to London the following Thursday.
Spurs will hope to be in touching distance of the Red Devils by the time this game comes around, with Erik ten Hag having to deal with squad fatigue due to involvement in the Europa League and FA Cup.
Liverpool have endured an even more calimitous year than Tottenham, failing to follow up their close runs in the Premier League and Champions League last season.
However, Spurs have won just one of the last 22 meetings with Liverpool and were last victorious at Anfield in 2011, when Rafael van der Vaart and Luka Modric netted in a 2-0 victory.
Tottenham haven’t enjoyed many thrashings since the turn of the new year, but they smashed four second-half goals past Crystal Palace when they met in January.
Harry Kane was at the double while Son Heung-min and Matt Doherty also got on the scoresheet.
