With no Champions League to deal with, the fabled ‘fourth place trophy’ is all Antonio Conte can obtain in his previous few months at Tottenham the previous few months of the season.
In my head Spurs have a very good document at St Mary’s, however the information say in any other case. The 5-2 thrashing in the beginning of the 2020/21 season was the one time of their final 5 conferences on the south coast that Spurs left victorius, with Saints successful two and a pair of 1-1 attracts finishing the set.
Elsewhere, intrigue comes on the Gtech (is {that a} factor?), the place Brentford can soar again into the European spots in the event that they beat Leicester. Wolves and Leeds are cut up by 5 groups however simply 4 factors in what’s shaping up because the widest relegation battle ever. Whereas Aston Villa, arguably the one really mid-table workforce within the Premier League presently, shall be seeking to place a stiff arm on a Bournemouth aspect for whom mid-March mediocrity is an aspiration. Eager for a three-bed semi within the suburbs with a driveaway and a pleasant automobile to place in it, if you’ll.
