Ange Postecoglou’s side have been in fine form this season, winning six and drawing two of their opening eight fixtures.

I was sitting there in the first 15 minutes thinking, ‘if Harry Kane was playing now, the game would have been over,’ given the number of chances they missed.
Merson does not think Spurs will be staying on top of the Premier League and hints that they are not a shoo-in for Champions League qualification, which “would be an unbelievable season”. Man Utd ‘far from’ being ‘challengers’ after ‘polyfilla result’ helps Ten Hag ‘cover the cracks’ – Merson
