Tottenham will be looking to keep the pressure on fourth-placed Chelsea when they host relegated Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday.
Spurs began the weekend in seventh place, five points behind the Blues, and will almost certainly need to win their remaining five fixtures to have any chance of qualifying for next year’s Champions League.

Caretaker manager Ryan Mason won his first match in charge against Southampton, and bet365 make it just 1/4 (1.25) that he continues his 100 per cent record in the Premier League.
The Blades recorded a rare success last weekend with victory over Brighton, but they are still rank 11/1 (12.0) outsiders to pick up maximum points for only the sixth time this season.

It is still possible that Mason’s men do claim a seat at Europe’s top table next term and their recent scoring record will at least give them hope that they can push all the way, having netted 18 times in their last nine Premier League outings.
They will almost certainly have little trouble increasing that tally against the Blades, who have conceded 39 goals in their 18 games against top-half clubs this season, losing 17 of those fixtures.
Given United have already been relegated, they may opt to play more care-free football than they usually do, which could contribute to a high-scoring game considering the hosts have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven league matches.
