I know that Tottenham's motivation is very big to chase Aston Villa's points so they will try to play well to get points when facing Manchester City. Defeats against Newcastle and Arsenal make the match against Manchester City even more difficult, because they will have difficulty keeping up with Pep Guardiola's men and if they lose then the opportunity to catch Aston Villa will be even more difficult to achieve.
I also think the same thing that Tottenham will have a very difficult time chasing the top four in the standings because they have to face several other strong clubs. Anything is still possible and Tottenham still have two games left to catch Aston Villa and if they are able to be consistent then nothing is impossible to finish in the top four even though it is a little more difficult.
Tottenham will have maximum 66 points after playing 35 matches if they win two suspended matches. It is a big condition for Tottenham Hotspur but even if they finish these two matches well, earn 6 points, they will still stand under Aston Villa with 1 point less.
With 3 remaining matches, 1 point is not big difference but Aston Villa can destroy Tottenham Hotspur's hope if they win all their three remaining matches. Tottenham Hotspur know about their chance and will not give up with only some matches left. On another side, Aston Villa know well about their situation and risk from Tottenham Hotspur. The task for Aston Villa in general is easier than Tottenham, winning all last 3 matches is easier than winning all remaining 5 matches that is the task for Tottenham Hotspur.
