Fifth place in the Premier League is not yet certain for Tottenham ahead of today’s trip to Sheffield United.
A campaign to have started so brightly under Ange Postecoglou has fizzled out after Tuesday’s defeat to Manchester City confirmed Spurs had missed out on Champions League football.
In fact, they are still vulnerable to being leapfrogged by Chelsea should they suffer a fifth consecutive defeat on the final day.
Ange Postecoglou, who is confident the club will back him to rebuild this summer, issued a scathing judgement about the “fragile” foundations he has inherited in north London, but days later reaffirmed his commitment to the job.
Spurs are strong favourites to beat a Blades side relegated what feels like an age ago, although the loss to Newcastle – who were in a similar position back in 2016 – should offer some warning.

Spurs surely can’t lose to a team who have endured such a miserable season. Postecoglou will want to head into the summer with a bang and anything less than a comfortable victory will be disappointing.
