Latest Tottenham news, with the Europa League qualification picture shifting after wins for Chelsea and Manchester United.

Tottenham are failed to confirm their Europa League position for next season, despite the recent set of results featuring Manchester United, Newcastle, and Chelsea.

Spurs remained on 63 points after their defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday evening, with the possibility of securing fifth place the following day without even kicking a ball.

Man United, Chelsea, and Newcastle were all in with a chance of advancing to Europe’s second club championship, but everything changed dramatically on Wednesday. Erik ten Hag’s side’s 2-1 victory over Newcastle bolstered their ambitions, but their opponents suffered a blow.

Chelsea overcame Brighton on the south coast with a disciplined effort, despite a tense finale after a Reece James red card, to go up to 60 points, three ahead of Newcastle and Manchester United.

With only six points separating the four teams, the final day permutations in football have become evident.London considers all probable situations.

In summary, Spurs only need to avoid defeat to secure a Europa League spot based on final rankings. A draw, while not what Ange Postecoglou will be striving for, would suffice regardless of how Chelsea performs against Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Lilywhites can only finish sixth, which is usually enough to qualify for the Europa League the following season, but it may not be enough this time. After their final league game against Brighton, United’s season is far from over, with the FA Cup final against Manchester City coming the following week.

Chelsea, however, sits on +13, with Spurs close behind on +10, which would guarantee the Blues finish ahead of their London rivals with a win, but only if Sheffield United defeat Postecoglou’s side. Finally, despite overcoming the Magpies, United enters the last day with a -3 goal differential.
