Tottenham's record has been on the rise of late, with five wins from their last six games opening them up to eight points clear of Manchester United, however, the knockout draw turned against them and they didn't seem to have had much luck against a strong Manchester City.
In the last two matches, Tottenham have won against Bournemouth and Burnley in succession, with Bournemouth showing an excellent ability to take advantage of their chances, winning 3-1 and also showing a decent defensive performance, conceding just one goal. Subsequently, in the FA Cup match with Burnley, Tottenham still showed tenacity without Son Xingmin, with 16 shots on goal, and finally narrowly won to advance, which was indeed a very difficult game.
Tottenham currently have a record of 12 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats in the Premier League, accumulating 39 points and sitting firmly in fourth place, a full eight points ahead of Manchester United. For Tottenham, the title race is still in doubt, with them just six points behind Liverpool at the top of the table, and the gap is not irreversible.
However, the road to the title has not been smooth and Tottenham will face a test for Manchester United next. Manchester United have had mixed seasons and despite a modest head-to-head record, United's form has not been great, which has left Tottenham on high alert for this game.
In the draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup, Tottenham did not seem to have had too much luck as they drew a very strong Manchester City. Especially without Son Heung-min, it will be a huge challenge to beat Manchester City. Son has always been one of City's most dangerous players, and his absence will undoubtedly have an impact on the team's attack.
The competition has been fierce throughout the Premier League, with at least five teams considered favourites, with a very narrow gap between them. In such a situation, it is difficult to win the championship in the end. Tottenham must maintain their winning streak and try to avoid dropping points in a fierce competition if they want to maintain their title hopes.
In the next game, Tottenham will face Manchester United head-to-head, a game that will be crucial to maintaining the lead. Manchester United's form has been up and down, and while historical encounters have been bad for Tottenham, in the Premier League, any team can break out, and Tottenham need to be vigilant at all times.
More worryingly, in the draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup, Tottenham drew a very strong Manchester City. Without Son Heung-min, it will be extremely difficult to beat Manchester City. After all, Son has always been the most dangerous player for Manchester City. This game will be one of Tottenham's toughest tests of the season.
Ahead of the game, fans were expecting Tottenham to continue their form, but the head-to-head record shows that Tottenham's matchup with Manchester United is not dominant. Tottenham have won just one of the last six meetings, losing four and one being a draw. Such a record is indeed a challenge for Tottenham, but it is also an opportunity, after all, the past does not mean the present.
In the FA Cup draw, Tottenham were unfortunate to draw Manchester City, which further complicated their prospects. Without Son Heung-min, Tottenham will need the whole team to come together and perform at their best if they are to win this game. Manchester City has always been a strong team in the Premier League, and the strength of the opponents should not be underestimated.
Overall, Tottenham have performed well in the Premier League, but still need to be cautious on their way to the title. The team will need to cope with the next two crucial games of Manchester United and Manchester City, and maintain a high level of morale and unity throughout the team. It's a huge challenge for Tottenham and an opportunity to show what they can do.
Conclusion: Tottenham's performance has caught the attention of fans, and the difficulties they face on the road to the title have become a hot topic. Whether they can hold their ground against strong opponents and compete for the Premier League title is the result that the team and the fans are looking forward to. This season of the Premier League is undoubtedly full of suspense and competition, and it will be interesting to see what surprises Tottenham will bring us in the upcoming games.
