Back-to-back wins under Roberto De Zerbi over Wolves and Aston Villa respectively have seen Spurs leapfrog West Ham and escape the relegation zone during a frantic finish to the season.
Tottenham fans will have watched on with bated breath on Sunday as rivals West Ham and Arsenal went head to head at the London Stadium in a hugely impactful game at both ends of the table.

It means that 17th-place Spurs go into this evening’s game knowing that another victory would see them move four points clear of the Hammers – over whom they also hold a significant advantage in terms of goal difference – with only two games left to play this term.
But they are likely to face a stern test against Leeds, who are currently six points above them in 16th having won three of their last four league games to move away from danger.
Daniel Farke’s beaten FA Cup semi-finalists will also have been delighted by events in east London on Sunday, as both they and Nottingham Forest are now mathematically safe from the drop.
