Tottenham Hotspur have had a rocky few years in the Premier League but seem to be back on the rise again under Portuguese manager Nuno Espírito Santo. However, maintaining a top four spot and competing in European competitions will be a tall task, as they face intense competition from rivals such as Arsenal, Manchester United, West Ham, and others.
Their defense looked shaky at times last season and struggled against high pressing teams that swarmed their backline. New signing Cristian Romero should help solidify things at centerback, along with experienced players like Eric Dier and Davinson Sánchez. Still, their backline will need to be much more reliable if Spurs want to achieve their goals.
In theattack, Harry Kane looked a bit off pace last season as transfer rumors swirled about his future, but he remains one of the best strikers in the world on his day. With him leading the line, Spurs have a great chance to score against any opponent. However, much will also depend on Heung-Min Son's form and the ability of Dele Alli, Lucas Moura, Steven Bergwijn and others to contribute.
In the middle of the park, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp gave the midfield stability last season but creativity was sometimes lacking. That's why the signing of Bryan Gil could prove important, as his playmaking skills may help Spurs unlock packed defenses. The depth in midfield still looks a bit thin though, so injuries could cause issues.
While the quality is there for Tottenham to make a run at Champions League qualification, the margin for error in the Premier League is very small. Minor slips against midtable sides or unlucky results in London derbies could make the difference. Their early season form will be crucial to build momentum and confidence before a hectic winter schedule filled with cup games and European football. If key players can stay fit and the new signings mesh well, Tottenham have the talent to mix it up with the league's top teams. But it will be a challenge fending off ambitious rivals like West Ham who will be hunting for those top four places. The season ahead promises plenty of twists and turns in the Premier League table, and Spurs supporters will be hoping their team can rise to the occasion. - https://mbscore.tv/match/denmark-vs-slovenia-18713012
