Tottenham's performance has not been that good recently; they are no longer performing the same way as they were at the beginning of the season, and Chelsea have shown some consistency recently. I think Chelsea are fighting to end the season at the top 4 in the table, and with all indications, I think they can continue performing this way. I believe they will do it, though I can’t guarantee Chelsea a win against Tottenham because Tottenham are also not a team to underestimate, and they won't want Chelsea to take over, so let's wait and see what Chelsea will do at the end of the season, since they have been improving. Let's see if they are going to continue this way till the end of the season.
This is a basic problem that Tottenham cannot fix in recent seasons from the era of Pochettino, Conte to the current Ange Postecoglou Tottenham problems are always irreparable because at the end of the season they seem to run out of gas and cannot do much in defending the results of the match.
Even though seeing their performance at the beginning of this season Tottenham have a lot of momentum to make them more comfortable in a decent position but for now they are a little troubled by the performance problems that occur.
The results are not too good from Aston Villa, it should be used as a spirit of encouragement for them to be able to get full points to shift position to 4 but Tottenham's performance in the last 3 matches is really bad which makes them apart from failing to make a breakthrough in the top 4 at the moment if their situation continues like this it is not impossible that they will also be overtaken by Newcastle later.
