#3 Jose Mourinho will guide Tottenham Hotspur to a top 4 finish in the Premier League
Jose Mourinho has seen mixed results since taking over at Tottenham in November following the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino, but the North London side still sit in 6th place in the Premier League table despite a further three disappointing losses under the Portuguese boss. They’re within touching distance of a Champions League slot, but can they make it?
My prediction is that they can. Sure, they’ve lost Harry Kane to a torn hamstring; the England captain could be out for a long time with such an injury, but the last time they lost their talismanic striker, they were able to make it to the Champions League final. And it’s not like they’re short of firepower, with the likes of Son Heung Min, Lucas Moura and the resurgent Dele Alli amongst their ranks.
More to the point, in the form of Mourinho they have a serial winner at the helm, someone who knows exactly how to grind out results, and with more time in the hot-seat at Spurs, he should be able to get to grips with his squad and who exactly fits into his first XI, particularly if he can make some changes during the January transfer window.
To add to that, Spurs’ closest rivals are also flawed sides; Chelsea lack experience, have lost as many games as Tottenham and have an inexperienced boss in Frank Lampard, while Manchester United are massively inconsistent and there are still a lot of questions around their manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. If I had to bet on one of the three, I’d definitely go with Mourinho.
