Tottenham Eyeing Europa League Qualification in Final Match Against Sheffield United

Tottenham will try to finish Ange Postecoglou‘s first season in charge with a morale-boosting victory, as the Premier League says goodbye to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Sunday. If you flipped Tottenham’s season the other way around — just one win in six to start, but a 10-game unbeaten run to finish — Spurs fans would be over the moon at what the summer and next season might hold.

Instead, they burst out of the starting gate and fell flat on their faces down the home stretch, raising more questions than answers ahead of what is sure to be a full-on rebuild during the summer transfer window. If ever there were a perfect opponent against whom to close out the campaign… Sheffield United were sentenced to relegation back to the EFL Championship weeks ago and have continued to struggle in the interim, losing their last six PL games and picking up just three points (three draws) from their last 13.

The Blades have won just three league games all season and conceded 101 goals through 37 games (most all-time in the Premier League) while scoring just 35.

Goalscorers: Dejan Kulusevski (15′).
