Spurs could certainly use the joy and emotional boost of playing at their 62,000-seater home, which replaced the old White Hart Lane in North London, after they were beaten 2-1 at Liverpool this past weekend.

A fourth defeat from their last five Premier League matches has left Mauricio Pochettino’s team in serious danger of missing out on the top four, and they simply must return to winning form when they host Crystal Palace for a London derby on Wednesday night.

The midweek also features all four teams which will be playing in the FA Cup semifinals on the weekend: Manchester City will look to return to the top of the log when they host Cardiff City; Brighton & Hove Albion face a stiff test away to Chelsea; Wolverhampton Wanderers will look for another win over Manchester United (having beaten the Red Devils in the FA Cup last month); and Watford are at home to a Fulham team which is edging ever closer to relegation.

Should Pep Guardiola’s Citizens reclaim top spot in midweek, current leaders Liverpool will look to take it back on Friday night when they face Southampton away from home. The Saints are in good form and highly motivated to continue putting daylight between themselves and the relegation zone, but Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are on a mission to win a first title in almost 30 years.

The pick of the weekend’s remaining games comes from Goodison Park, where Everton’s fine recent form (back-to-back 2-0 wins over Chelsea and West Ham United) will be put to the test by Arsenal.

The Gunners are desperately chasing a top-four berth and a win on Merseyside would go a long way in helping manager Unai Emery attain his goal of taking the London side back into the UEFA Champions League next season.
