Spurs are gradually getting stronger with each passing season, catching up to the main competition and leaving behind their arch-rivals Arsenal in the process. I think it'll be a close one between Man United and Tottenham as to who finishes in third place. This time I've placed United higher as I can envision them gaining consistency as the season goes on, whilst Spurs may start to drop off by the end, as they usually do.

With the likes of Harry Kane and Lucas Moura posing a constant goal threat, Spurs fans can relax on that front; however, their defending has been questionable at times, which is something they'll need to repair sharply before teams start to fully exploit it.

Mauricio Pohettino remains an outstanding manager for Tottenham and seems to know the club inside out, as well as the players. There's a very strong bond between the squad and their manager, and it shows through their performances out on the pitch.
