Tottenham and Mauricio Pochettino face another stern test today against Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United.
While Spurs found their rhythm midweek against Red Star Belgrade, they are without a win in their last four Premier League games – form which has seen them sink to 11th in the table.
The Blades are hardly ideal opposition to address such a slump. Sheffield United can move above Arsenal and into fifth place if results go their way this weekend, having already beaten the Gunners on their own turf this term.
The Blades are unbeaten in their last four matches and also undefeated against London sides this season having beaten Crystal Palace and Arsenal and drawn with Chelsea and West Ham.
