Well the streak they're on is undeniably a good one. But when you really watch them, they're not that incredible. I think that Wednesday could be really interesting because Spurs were crushing them for basically 45 minutes and it took them a world-class strike to get back into the game. The second half was a little more even, and they capitalised on one major screw-up to manage a 2-1 victory in that one, at Stamford Bridge. That was a Spurs line-up without a few key players though, specifically Rose and Alderweireld who are both back for Wednesday.
Then you look at some of the victories and it's not exactly awe inspiring. Stoke put up 2 goals this past weekend and had it tied midway through the second half, again at Stamford Bridge. Then you have really close wins against Palace and WBA over the past few weeks mixed in there as well.
I'm not saying they're terrible, but I think they're beatable. I wish Spurs had Lamela back for this one, but as it is they have a much fuller, healthy squad and at home should make it very interesting at the least.
