#2 Tottenham

The Starting XI: Brandon Austin, Danny Rose, Ben Davies, Eric Dier, Kyle Walker-Peters, Kieran Trippier, Luke Amos, Harry Winks, Josh Onomah, Dele Alli, Harry Kane.

Kane will have to lead the team from the front, literally and metaphorically

Even though Davies and Dier have to slot in at Centre-Back, which is not their favoured position, they are formidable defenders and can definitely play in the centre of the defence. With Rose and Walker-Peters rounding off the defence, Spurs have a good backline even after giving the boot to all non-British players.

Spurs might have to play a sort of 4-4-1-1 formation and thus the attacking responsibility will have to be borne by Alli and one of the best strikers in world football, Harry Kane. This assures that the attacking dimension of this Spurs side is in good hands.

The only reason that Spurs might not will the title is their midfield. Trippier is a brilliant full back who can play on the wide right and has good crossing ability. However, it will still be a new challenge for him and it will be interesting to see if he stands up to it. Winks has impressed whenever he is on the pitch. But the inexperience of Amos and Onomah will be tested and teams might use this to their advantage, condemning Spurs to a second place finish.
