Tottenham vs Sheffield United: Premier League preview

ottenham have five games left to make sure their season does not end with a whimper as they host Sheffield United this afternoon still looking to finish in the top four.
Any further dropped points surely end their lingering hopes of Champions League qualification but the run-in looks kind, starting with the already relegated Blades.
With Liverpool at Manchester United and West Ham travelling to a re-energised Burnley, Spurs could gain points on their rivals come the end of Monday.

Sheffield United will assess Sander Berge and Jack Robinson ahead of kick-off.

Spurs simply cannot afford any further slip-ups and even then a top-four finish is out of their hands.
After the disappointment of the Carabao Cup Final, a thumping win against the relegated Blades should be just what the doctor ordered.
