Tottenham revived hope to advance to the Champions
the foreshadowing of a two-game all-out war on the family Hishalisson and other injuries are out for the season Fears it could be a bad thing for Tottenham
Tottenham, which is competing for fourth place in the English Premier League (EPL), is reviving hopes of advancing to the UEFA Champions League (UCL). While Tottenham successfully finished the match against Burnley, Aston Villa, ranked fourth, is struggling somewhat, continuing its faint hope.
Aston Villa scored a 3-3 draw against Liverpool at the 37th round home game of the 2023-24 EPL at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 14th. With this result, Aston Villa have added one more point to maintain their fourth place overall with 68 points. They are only five points shorter than Tottenham (63 points), which is ranked fifth.
Tottenham is currently aiming to regain fourth place before the end of the league and advance to the UCL next season. It has already become difficult to advance to the UCL on its own due to the wide gap in points with Aston Villa, but its fate may change depending on the outcome of the remaining games between Aston Villa and Tottenham. Aston Villa currently have one game left, and Tottenham have two games left. If Tottenham wins all of its remaining two games, and Aston Villa lose one, Tottenham could be ranked fourth with 69 points.
If Aston Villa draws or wins in the last game of the league, Tottenham's dream to advance to the UCL will be canceled. If Aston Villa draw, they will have the same points as Tottenham, and they will have to decide the ranking by goal difference, but Aston Villa (+20) is currently far ahead of Tottenham (+12).
Tottenham is expected to stage an all-out battle against Manchester City at 4 a.m. on Saturday and Sheffield at 0 a.m. on Sunday. However, there are concerns that the injury of some of its key players could serve as a negative factor. Tottenham manager Enze Posecoglou officially announced the departure of Hishalisson and Yves Bissouma for the upcoming season at a press conference ahead of the Manchester City match on the day. As a result, Tottenham has become somewhat monotonous as only Son can operate in the front. Notably, Hishalisson's injury leaves a bigger regret as he performed better when playing in the left flank than in the front line. 토토사이트
