Tottenham Hotspur have really impressed over recent weeks.
BBC Pundit and former Arsenal star Ian Wright offered his opinion on the teams who are best placed to challenge Chelsea for the Premier League title, when speaking live on BBC Sport’s 606 podcast.
Despite the Blues currently holding a seven point advantage over Tottenham and Liverpool, and a further point lead over Arsenal, this campaign has the makings of being one of the most exciting Premier League seasons since its’ inception in 1992.
And Wright, who scored 185 goals for the Gunners, explained who he thinks will run Antonio Conte’s men the closest, when speaking live on BBC Sport’s 606 podcast:
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino
“I still think Liverpool do have a chance in the title race. Remember how many players are missing for Liverpool at the moment. You have to say that Liverpool have got a better chance than Manchester United right now but Tottenham are the ones. They’ve got momentum without anyone leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations.”
The Lilywhites have been in excellent form of late, and have recorded six consecutive Premier League victories.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino
And Mauricio Pochettino deserves so much credit for the manner in which he has managed to turn his side’s season around, after a challenging six-week period which saw them eliminated from the Champions League.
They will face a true test tomorrow, however, when they head to the Etihad to take on Manchester City, and if they can emerge from that game with all three points, then they really will have every chance of overhauling Chelsea’s lead at the top of the table.
