Tottenham Hotspur doesn’t have much room for error if they hope to overtake English Premier League-leading Leicester City and capture their first title since 1961. Spurs need to make up a seven point gap with just five games to go in the season and need all three points this Monday, April 18th when they visit Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium. Stoke is technically still in the race for a top-four finish, but it’s unlikely to happen. Spurs thumped Manchester United 3-0 at home last weekend while Stoke was drilled 4-1 away at Liverpool.

This is a crucial game for Tottenham as they could enter the match 10 points behind the leaders if Leicester should happen to beat West Ham 24 hours earlier. However, a Leicester loss and Spurs win will leave Tottenham just four points behind with four games and 12 points to go in the season. Stoke would need to nearly run the table over the remainder of the campaign to reach fourth place and hope that West Ham, Man United and Man City all drop points. That’s unlikely to happen and the best they can hope for is a top-six finish and a spot in next season’s Europa League.
