League position: 7th Since Mauricio Pochettino became their manager in August 2014, Tottenham Hotspur had won one of their 18 away games in the Premier League against their 'big six' rivals (lost 11). Spurs conceded four goals in a Premier League game for the first time since a 1-5 loss at Newcastle United on 15 May 2016. They had now drawn one and lost four of their last five away games in the Premier League.
