Tottenham must win all remaining games and lose Villa's final match

Son Heung-min's team, Tottenham Hotspur of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL), continues its hopes of participating in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) next season. This is because Aston Villa, who is competing for 4th place, was unable to widen the gap significantly.

Villa drew 3-3 in the 37th round match of the 2023-2024 EPL season against Liverpool held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 14th (Korean time).

Villa remained in 4th place with 20 wins, 8 draws, and 9 losses (68 points). It is a somewhat disappointing result for Tottenham.

Liverpool was expected to win this day's game. This is because Liverpool was stronger and ranked higher.

Contrary to predictions, the match ended in a draw after a fierce battle.

If Liverpool wins, Tottenham can increase its chances of rising to fourth place. 

In the EPL, the top 4th place in the league will be given the opportunity to participate in the UCL next season. Tottenham is currently in 5th place in the league with 63 points. They are 5 points behind Villa, having played one more game. If Liverpool had won and the point difference was 4 points, Villa could have taken advantage of a draw or loss in the final match. However, due to the draw, Villa unconditionally lost the final game, and Tottenham had to win the remaining two games to take fourth place. If Villa draws and Tottenham wins, the points will be the same, but Villa (+20) is far ahead of Tottenham (+12) in goal difference, and in a situation where the points are the same, Tottenham is at a disadvantage. Tottenham will play its 37th round home game against Manchester City at 4 a.m. on the 15th. Manchester City is a strong team competing for the title and is a mountain that Tottenham cannot easily overcome. However, in order to save the slim chance that remains, they must defeat Manchester City. Meanwhile, in the final match, Tottenham meets Sheffield United, the bottom of the league, and Villa faces Crystal Palace. The final round of the EPL kicks off at midnight on the 20th. 고스톱사이트
