Gary Neville is of the opinion that Tottenham are the only team capable of challenging posing a challenge to Manchester City\u00a0and Liverpool for the Premier League title this season.<\/p>\n
Both City and Liverpool have had a stranglehold over the league for the past five years, with last season\u2019s title race going neck-to-neck as the Citizens narrowly pipped the Reds to the finishing line by just a solitary point.<\/p>\n
Not much else is expected for the upcoming campaign except that the bottle for the third and fourth spots look likely to be a lot more intense given the signings that Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal have made this summer.<\/p>\n
Neville is inclined towards Spurs as the ones having a chance of upsetting City and Liverpool at the moment, but despite thinking so, he\u2019s still not convinced enough to give them great odds to pull it off.<\/p>\n
\u2018I think Ivan Perisic [is a good signing]. I\u2019ve got Tottenham Hotspur finishing third in my head. Because of Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison added into [the mix of] what they\u2019ve already got,\u2019 the former Manchester United captain said on The Overlap podcast.<\/p>\n
\u2018They have already got Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son who are world class. They have two world class players up top, and they\u2019ve now added to it with Perisic and Richarlison.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Tottenham are the only club who could challenge, they won\u2019t finish above Liverpool, but they could if somehow Liverpool wobble or get an injury to Virgil Van Dijk, then Tottenham could [challenge]. They are the only club who could potentially.”<\/p>\n
Tottenham have dug deep into the till in an attempt to finally end their trophy-drought, and with serial winner Antonio Conte in charge there is real believe that the club could have a very successful season.<\/p>\n
