Gary Neville makes Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal prediction

Gary Neville has predicted whether Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur could end up above Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the Premier League table this season.

The Sky Sports pundit was hugely impressed by the display produced by Tottenham against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Spurs played well against the Red Devils and were arguably the better team. The North London club also had a few of their best players missing, including playmaker James Maddison and forward Son Heung-min.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville, who does not want Ivan Toney to join Arsenal this month, was impressed by what he saw from Spurs.

The pundit believes that Tottenham have what it takes to finish above Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League table.

Neville told Sky Sports: “If they keep their players fit, they are a certainty to finish in the top four and I think they can get to second and third.

“With those players back, and if they can get through these next few weeks, I genuinely think they can be better than Arsenal and Liverpool this season.

“It might end up being a good draw in the FA Cup against Manchester City. Go out of that and concentrate completely on the league. But they do need to win a trophy.

“If he wins a trophy, great, but we know in the past when teams have had a really explosive season, they’re not usually in Europe or competitions.

“For Ange Postecoglou to get to second or third, which they could do if they have a clean run at it, would be something special.”
