Tottenham news: ‘This could go horribly wrong’ - pundit makes Chelsea and Arsenal claim
TOTTENHAM have a season-defining week coming up if they harbour hopes of winning silverware this term.
Spurs v Chelsea: Managers speak ahead of clash
That is according to Southampton legend and Sky Sports pundit Matt Le Tissier.
Tottenham have three crunch fixtures across the Premier League and Champions League in the next eight days.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side face unbeaten Chelsea at Wembley this evening as they look to continue their best ever start to a Premier League campaign.
Spurs then welcome Inter Milan to London on Wednesday knowing they must win or will be knocked out at the group stage of Europe’s elite club competition.
This could all go horribly wrong. Or they could, in a week’s time, be on top of the world
The week ends with the short trip to local rivals Arsenal next Sunday who are rejuvenated under Unai Emery.
Le Tissier admits Tottenham will be on cloud nine if they can pick up three wins from their next three outings.
But he also notes how it could all go “horribly wrong” for Pochettino.
“It’s a massive week for Spurs,” Le Tissier said.
“This could all go horribly wrong.
“Or they could, in a week’s time, be on top of the world and thinking that they can win everything that they’re in. It is one of those weeks.
“This is what the players are in it for.
"A seven days where you’ve got three massive games like that.
“They must be just looking forward to it so much.”
Christian Eriksen could make his first Premier League start since September against Chelsea.
Spurs have lost two home games in the league so far this season.
Those defeats came against fellow rivals for the top four Liverpool and Manchester City.
