Spurs' victory the previous week against Bournemouth was an important point for them because they are now only 1 point behind their city team, namely Arsenal. With Arsenal's current situation, Spurs definitely want to force the Gunners to go down immediately and if Arsenal still suffers another defeat in the next match then Spurs can make good use of this. Arsenal is a top team that is inconsistent because in the last 5 matches they only won 1 time and most of the defeats they suffered were against teams they should have beaten.
If in the next match Spurs can steal points at Old Trafford, Manchester United's headquarters, then it is clear that they will put more pressure on Arsenal and that could raise the confidence of coach Ange's men to return to the top flight. Meanwhile, Arsenal will play Crystal Palace and to be honest, this is a match that will again make Arsenal difficult and I don't guarantee they can win easily.
After Tottenham's win against Bournemouth, I will say that Tottenham is fully back to their winning ways. Tottenham ended Bournemouth's 7-match unbeaten run in the league, and Tottenham has won 3 of their home matches. If Tottenham can continue in this form, they will enter the 4th position in the premier league table because Arsenal and Aston Villa might drop points in their next 2 games.
I have seen this from the previous few weeks and it is clear that Tottenham's performance is improving and I believe that they have recovered now.
If Tottenham are successful in maintaining their performance like this then it is not only possible for them to get a top 4 position, but they have quite a big potential to compete again in the race for the Premier League title this season. Tottenham has the strength, they just need to maintain their consistency.
