Bagging the Champs of the North
Tottenham Hotspur
Despite an upsetting win against Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur has maintained its stance as a force to be reckoned with. Thus far in the game, they have faced each of the top six and recorded a win against Arsenal, a draw against Liverpool, and several other phenomenal games with a total of sixteen wins, eight draws, and eleven losses.
Each of these games had its own highlights and holds importance for several reasons, but the Spurs will not be satisfied with their season until they secure a standing among the top. They still have a chance to do that if they successfully manage to beat their London rivals – Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Predicted Line-Up: Hugo Lloris, Serge Aurier, Sergio Reguilón, Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld, Lo Celso, Pierre Emile Højbjerg, Gareth Bale, Son Heung-min, Dele Alli, Harry Kane.
