At this time, Tottenham up and down did not have the mood to pay attention to the top position of the Premier League that they were forced to give up the seventh round. What they need to pay attention to is that they are competing with Manchester City to enter the League Cup final.
To most Tottenham fans, and even Tottenham's management and players, entering the League Cup final is obviously more important than temporarily occupying the league leaderboard. Because as long as you enter the League Cup final, it means that you are not far from a championship trophy.
On the contrary, even if temporarily occupying the top spot in the league points, in the next dozen rounds, it is difficult to compete against Manchester United and Chelsea.
Instead of this, it is better to set aside the league temporarily, and win the championship trophy first.

They must ensure that they score two more goals than Manchester City in today's game before they can eliminate Manchester City to advance to the final at the Wembley Stadium on the last day of next month.
