Tottenham's next 10 games and how they compare to Man United, Man City, Liverpool and Leicester

The Premier League title appears there for the taking this season with no outright favourite at the halfway stage.

Manchester United currently lead the way on 40 points from 19 games, although they will drop down to second and one point behind rivals Man City if they win their game in hand.

Leicester, following their stunning title triumph five years ago, are also right in the mix as they sit two points behind United, with Liverpool trailing the Foxes by four points following their shock 1-0 home defeat against Burnley on Thursday evening.

Jose Mourinho's Tottenham side are just a single point behind the Reds but they have played one game less than Jurgen Klopp's team.

Given the amount of games coming up in such a short space of time over the coming weeks with European football set to resume, the league table could look very different altogether come the start of March.

But who exactly plays who in the next 10 rounds of league fixtures? football.london takes a look.

Tottenham fixtures

Jan 28: Liverpool (H)

Jan 31: Brighton (A)

Feb 04: Chelsea (H)

Feb 06: West Brom (H)

Feb 13: Man City (A)

Feb 20: West Ham (A)

Feb 28: Burnley (H)

March 06: Crystal Palace (H)

March 13: Arsenal (A)

March 20: Southampton (H)

Mourinho's side have some tough games coming up over the next few weeks, starting next Thursday against Liverpool.

However, they will be confident of collecting all three points with the reigning champions really struggling for goals at the minute.

Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal will certainly not be straightforward, although the team proved prior to Christmas that they can take points off the trio having collected seven from a possible nine.

Definitely not a nightmare set of games, Spurs could find themselves in a very good position come the middle of March if they perform to their best between now and then.

Man United fixtures

Jan 27: Sheffield United (H)

Jan 30: Arsenal (A)

Feb 02: Southampton (H)

Feb 08: Everton (H)

Feb 13: West Brom (A)

Feb 21: Newcastle United (H)

Feb 28: Chelsea (A)

March 06: Man City (A)

March 13: West Ham (H)

March 20: Crystal Palace (A)

United will go into the next ten games in confident mood after a good run of late.

With a few nice fixtures coming up at home, it could be their away matches that prove pivotal as trips to Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City will not be easy at all.

However, maintain their current form and they could well be sitting top of the pile after their away fixture at Crystal Palace.

Man City fixtures

Jan 26: West Brom (A)

Jan 30: Sheffield United (H)

Feb 03: Burnley (A)

Feb 07: Liverpool (A)

Feb 13: Tottenham (H)

Feb 21: Arsenal (A)

Feb 27: West Ham (H)

March 06: Man United (H)

March 13: Fulham (A)

March 20: Wolves (H)

Many now believe that Man City will lift the title in May after winning their last six league games.

Recovering from a slow start to the season, Pep Guardiola's men look in top form at the present and they still have Sergio Aguero to return after only nine appearances this season.

Apart from the tricky run of Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal in February, City do have a good set of fixtures as they look to return to the top.

Liverpool fixtures

Jan 28: Spurs (A)

Jan 31: West Ham (A)

Feb 03: Brighton (H)

Feb 07: Man City (H)

Feb 13: Leicester City (A)

Feb 20: Everton (H)

Feb 27: Sheffield United (A)

March 06: Fulham (H)

March 13: Wolves (A)

March 20: Chelsea (H)

April 04: Arsenal (A)

The next ten games will prove pivotal to Liverpool's hopes of retaining the league title.

Klopp's side are bang out of form at the minute and struggling to score goals despite having Mohamed Salah and Co upfront.

The Spurs, Man City, Leicester, Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal fixtures will be crucial to their hopes.

Leicester fixtures

Jan 27: Everton (A)

Jan 31: Leeds (H)

Feb 03: Fulham (A)

Feb 07: Wolves (A)

Feb 13: Liverpool (H)

Feb 21: Aston Villa (A)

Feb 27: Arsenal (H)

March 06: Brighton (A)

March 13: Sheffield United (H)

March 20: Burnley (A)

Leicester could potentially be the dark horse for the title with all eyes on the Manchester clubs and Liverpool.

Enduring a nightmare at the back end of last season as they dropped out of the Champions League places despite looking certainties throughout to finish in the top-four, Brendan Rodgers will need to ensure that the same doesn't happen this year.

With some favourable games on the agenda over the next two months, the Foxes could be in a very good place to repeat their 2016 heroics five years on.
