Tottenham fixture list throws up tough run against Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal AND Liverpool in three-and-a-half weeks as Jose Mourinho quashes title talk

Tottenham have enjoyed a brilliant start to the season, losing just once and sitting second in the Premier League table.

However, a tough run of games after the international break will be the true test of their title credentials.

Jose Mourinho’s side, galvanised by the red-hot form of Harry Kane, edged past West Brom in their most recent game thanks to a late goal from the England captain, who has now scored in three games on the bounce.

Questions are now being asked over whether the north London club have what it takes to win the Premier League in what would be their first top-flight title since the 1960/61 campaign.

Now, though, Spurs have a monstrous fixture list beginning with Man City on talkSPORT on Saturday evening.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all follow in the space of three-and-a-half weeks.

After City’s visit, Spurs travel across London to Chelsea, with Europa Leagues in between that and the north London derby against Arsenal on December 5.

Another London derby at Crystal Palace comes one week later, before the trip to Liverpool on Wednesday, December 16 to end their nightmare run.

There’s no respite either, as Spurs’ two opponents after Liverpool are high-flying duo Leicester and Wolves.

And Mourinho is under no illusion about how hard it will be to win his fourth Premier League crown.

“When a team is champion or plays for the title, there is always a direct relation to your direct opponents,” he said after edging a tight game at the Hawthorns. “I would say that this team could be champions in many European countries.

“The Premier League is the most difficult one to be, because in the Premier League you can do a good season, can have lots of points, but in the end: Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Man United, Leicester, Arsenal. So you can have a good season and not be champion.

“So what can we do? We go match after match. We try to win, we don’t care about the others.

“I promise you I’m not worried about Leicester v Wolves, or City v Liverpool. If Liverpool wins, it is because City loses points. If Leicester wins, it is because Wolves dropped points.

“So I don’t care, I just want the team to play match after match, and then at the end of the season let’s see where we are.”
