Tottenham Hotspur will head into the final few weeks of the season with a place in the top four of the Premier League still up for grabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been another disappointing campaign for Tottenham, with the team failing to mount a serious challenge for major silverware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spurs went into the 2022\/23 season with high hopes of ending their recent trophy drought, but things have not gone to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were fancied by top bookmakers in the United Kingdom and Ireland to win the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, but made early exits from both competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading online betting sites in Ireland<\/a> also tipped Tottenham to make progress in the Champions League, but they were dumped out in the last-16 by AC Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishing in the top four is the only thing Tottenham can salvage from the season and they are undoubtedly capable of getting the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United look nailed on to finish in the top three, leaving several clubs fighting for the other Champions League qualification spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham are currently fourth in the Premier League table, two points ahead of Newcastle United having played two games more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool, Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford are next in the standings and cannot be ruled of the race to finish in the top four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Newcastle will likely be the biggest threat to Tottenham\u2019s hopes of finishing in the top four given their form this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly-minted Magpies<\/a> have been in contention throughout the campaign, losing just three of their 26 outings to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they are they lowest scorers in the top eight, their tally of 19 goals conceded is the best in the Premier League by a considerable distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have bounced back from the disappointment of losing in the Carabao Cup final to win two of their last three games in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two games in hand on Tottenham, Eddie Howe\u2019s side will fancy their chances securing at top four spot at the end of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newcastle\u2019s remaining fixtures suggests that may be easier said than done, with their upcoming schedule littered with tricky games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matches against Manchester United (H), West Ham United (A), Brentford (A) and Aston Villa (A) are all potential banana skins during April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By contrast, Tottenham will expect<\/a> to grab a healthy points haul from fixtures against Everton (A), Brighton (H) and Bournemouth (H).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Tottenham can safely navigate that run of games, they would travel north to Newcastle on April 23 in a confident mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That game will likely be pivotal in the race for the top four and Tottenham are certainly capable of winning at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have won four and drawn one of their last five league matches at Newcastle \u2013 a record they will be eager to enhance next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams have some testing games after that encounter, but if Tottenham can leave Newcastle still inside the top four they would be a good bet to stay there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
