Harry Kane’s Tottenham should arguably be favourites, but are somehow flying under the radar again

It seems odd to be calling Spurs a ‘dark horse’ given they finished 2nd last season and pushed Chelsea all the way, but in the Premier League – where money speaks louder than actual success – people seem to be once again ignoring Mauricio Pochettino’s side, which is insane.
They arguably have the best starting eleven on paper already and while they haven’t strengthened in their weaker areas just yet – backups for Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen for instance – we’ve seen in the past that players who have been written off (Son Heung-Min for instance) can come good under Pochettino, so who knows whether someone like Vincent Janssen or Georges-Kevin N’Koudou could suddenly explode back onto the scene?
A couple of question marks do hang over them – the move to Wembley and the distractions of the Champions League – but if they can hang onto all their players, it’d be crazy to write them off.
Tottenham finished as the strongest team in the Premier League last season with multi-goal slaughters of Leicester and Hull, and if they can carry that form into the 2017/18 season, there’s no reason why they can’t go all the way this time.
