How Man City's win over Tottenham has affected the Premier League top-four race

Tottenham battled hard but lost 1-0 to Manchester City in Saturday's lunchtime kick off and could lose their spot in the top four this weekend.

Youngster Phil Foden scored the only goal at the Etihad to put Mauricio Pochettino's hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League in doubt.

Chelsea and Arsenal will go above Spurs if they win their fixtures over the rest of the gameweek.

The Blues face Burnley on Monday night at Stamford Bridge - having won the corresponding fixture 4-0 in October, with Alvaro Morata, Ross Barkley, Willian and Ruben Loftus-Cheek all getting on the scoreboard.
