Pundit predictions for top 4

Spurs had horrendous injuries last season to a lot of their key players, Kane in particular. If they can keep the best players fit, then absolutely no reason they should not be challenging, up until New Year last season Spurs were very much in the mix, but the crippling injury list to lot of they key players meant the squad was not good enough. Beefed up this season, and with a tad less injuries, should be a completely different scenario.

The like of which I have hardly seen in the last few years and so far we already have Foyth and Dele out.

How Liverpool managed a whole season without injuries to key players is a miracle, hopefully it won't happen again

City also suffered injuries but what a team, they have depth in squad.

So do we now. I am sure if Eriksen doesn't get move to Spain, he'll sign a new contract

I like your preseason optimism Sandy and I expect us to finish with plenty more points that last season. However the evidence suggests that to catch City we would need to get 95+ points (and that might not be enough), thats some ask.

Personally think Jenas, Nevin and Sutton are the best/most realistic pundits out there, and funnily enough I agree with the prediction they've all made.

Sutton is an insufferable kant though.

Danny mills is waffling some pure sh!te on SSN at the minute, doesn’t matter where your hands are if it hits your hand it’s a pen.

chris Sutton is so boring. shiiit pundit and commentator. and the fact that his Chelsea connections makes him sympathetic towards them, just makes him a shiiiit pundit, a shiiit commentator, and a caaant

City
Spurs
Arsenal
Chelsea

We managed without injury to key players because very few of our players are injury prone. Our front 3 for example hardly ever pick up muscle injuries or niggles, it'll only be impact injury's that'll keep them out for periods. Whereas hasn't Kane been injured for 4/5 weeks in virtually every season?

I don't think it's good or bad luck unless it's a freak injury. Some players are simply more injury prone than others.

Firmino & Salah both missed games at the end of the season yet we kept winning, both missed a 4-0 win over Barca.

Like others I await your first "POCH OUT" for the upcoming season. Before or after Christmas is always the question.
