Tottenham are four points off fourth place. They do not have a game this weekend but when their season resumes, the big games come thick and fast.
First there is a trip to Aston Villa, followed by the resumption of the Champions League when RB Leipzig come to London. The pace doesn't slacken, with a collision with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge four days later before a clash at home to Wolves.
None of those fixtures, however, are as important as the one on Wednesday, March 4 - Norwich, at home, in the FA Cup fifth round.
