Premier League: 5 Bold predictions for the 2019-20 season

#3 Title race to be a three-horse race

Tottenham Hotspur could have an even bigger say in the title race

Through much of last season, several pundits and fans tried to convince themselves that the Premier League title race was indeed being participated in by three teams, contrary to common belief.

At the start, many touted Chelsea to be potential contenders while that baton shifted to Tottenham through the winter months. However, neither was able to muster a challenge substantial enough to warrant a place as a genuine title hopeful.

And, that trend seemed set to continue in the upcoming season too, with Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United not setting the transfer window ablaze in the first half. Yet, recent events have compelled one to harbour aspirations of a proper three-horse marathon this time round.

Spurs started the off-season slowly but suddenly sprung to life in the latter phases. After not signing a footballer since January 2018, they went out and bought four players in a month and a half, metaphorically similar to those famous London buses.

Giovani Lo Celso, Ryan Sessegnon and Tanguy Ndombele should slot seamlessly into the Lilywhites squad and the acquisition of the trio has accorded much needed depth to a side that was crying out for it last term. In addition, each of those three seems an excellent fit for the Premier League and should create a huge splash in England.

Thus, Tottenham look destined to make a decent fist of their title assault in 2019-20.

As for Liverpool and Manchester City, the other runners in the race, the pair recently showcased that they’re not resting on their laurels and are rather planning another onslaught on the English top flight.

While the Reds banked on stability by not tinkering with a strong squad, the Cityzens moved in the market but only to strengthen an already superlative squad.
