Tottenham Hotspur revived their bid for Champions League football by returning to the top four of the Premier League with a 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Blackburn Rovers on Sunday.
Spurs have got a better goal difference than Newcastle while Chelsea - 6-1 winners over QPR earlier in the day - are a point behind them.
Defeat left QPR above the relegation zone on goal difference alone in a match in which Fernando Torres scored his first hattrick for the Blues.
The potential title decider takes place on Monday night when log leaders Manchester United on 83 points play second placed Manchester City on 80 points at the Ethiad Stadium.
