Spurs with the Momentum: Tottenham are on a six-game Premier League win streak, with victories over sides like Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Stoke City. They’re practically guaranteed a top-four finish, and they still have an outside shot at finishing in the top two. The Spurs have lost just once at Wembley in fifteen league games this season.
