Tottenham's next five fixtures compared to Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd after Rangers draw

Tottenham Hotspur only have a couple of days on the training pitches before they return to action. After being held to a 0-0 draw by Rangers at the Ibrox Stadium in the Europa League on Thursday night, the Lilywhites must turn their attention to the weekend.

On Sunday afternoon, Southampton will host Spurs at St. Mary's as either side look to climb the Premier League table. The Saints sit rock bottom of the English top-flight, meanwhile, Tottenham find themselves in 11th after losing 4-3 to Chelsea on home turf.

While Ange Postecoglou's side will be eager to show their teeth, they're nursing an injury crisis at the moment with a few important players on the sidelines. So, with that being said, football.london has looked at Tottenham's upcoming fixtures and how they compare to their rivals.

Southampton (A) – Premier League – Sunday, December 15

After locking horns with Rangers at Ibrox, Spurs must face Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium. There have been 16 goals in the last three meetings between the two sides, which could play into Russel Martin's hands with some big names missing for Tottenham.

Manchester United (H) – Carabao Cup – Thursday, December 19

Earlier this season, Postecoglou claimed he always wins a trophy in his second season at a club. With the north Londoners 15-points adrift of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, this could be the most likely route to silverware this term.

Liverpool (H) – Premier League – Sunday, December 22

Liverpool will be eager to pile on the misery, with Postecoglou under immense pressure to transform Tottenham's fortunes. Though the Lilywhites are on home turf, Arne Slot's side have been in excellent form, climbing to first place in the Premier League.

Nottingham Forest (A) – Premier League – Thursday, December 26

Postecoglou will be hoping to bring some festive cheer on Boxing Day. That said, Nottingham Forest are no walkovers and Nuno Espirito Santo will be keen to exact his revenge on Tottenham after Daniel Levy sacked him in November 2021.

Wolves (H) – Premier League – Sunday, December 29

Back on home turf, Spurs will hope to end the year on a high. Tottenham have struggled to impress under Postecoglou lately, so the 59-year-old will be looking to turn over a new leaf.
