Mark Lawrenson believes that Tottenham will end the season on a high by comfortably brushing aside Sheffield United in their final league game of the season.
Spurs now know that they will not be in next season’s Champions League, with their loss against Manchester City on Tuesday ensuring that Aston Villa will finish in fourth place.
It has been an extremely disappointing end to the season for the Lilywhties, who are stumbling across the finishing line, having lost five of their last six Premier League matches.
However, their clash at Bramall Lane is far from a dead rubber, with Ange Postecoglou’s men needing at least a point to secure a fifth-place finish and Europa League football.
If Tottenham were to lose against the Blades allied with Chelsea beating Bournemouth and Man Utd upsetting Man City in the FA Cup final, that would mean that Spurs would be consigned to the Europa Conference League next season.
Chris Wilder’s side have conceded a Premier League record of 101 goals this season, a tally which Tottenham will be hoping to add to.
However, Lawrenson believes that Tottenham will not have any issues turning over Chris Wilder’s men on Saturday.
The pundit told Paddy Power: “Tottenham have had really difficult games recently with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.
“That’s just what you want at the end of the season when you’re going for things! They’ll win this, though. Prediction: Sheffield United 0-2 Tottenham.”
Despite the fact this is Tottenham’s last top flight match of the 23/24 season, their campaign is not over after the club arranged a post-season friendly in Australia against fellow Premier League side Newcastle United on Wednesday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

It will be quite embarrassing if we finished below Chelsea, given the gap between the two clubs just a month ago.
We desperately need to finish the season with a win to ensure there is some optimism around the club heading into what will be a crucial summer transfer window.
