20 Days, 20 Predictions: Tottenham Hotspur

Harry Houdini. He has been a revelation in the past two years at Tottenham, taking them from near bottom in 2008 to a fourth place finish in 2010. They have played some great football this year, the thrashing of Wigan by 8 goals was a particular highlight. Europe is a reward they well deserved, although it may put quite a strain on their premier league ambitions. They will need more defensive cover and some of the fringe midfielders, the likes of David Bentley and Giovanni Dos Santos to improve their game. They are spoiled for striking talent: Keane, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch and Gudjohnsen as backup. If Harry can sprinkle some more magic they should reach the group stage and maybe even the knock out rounds of the Champions League. But I don’t think they can hang on to fourth place in the Premiership.

Last Season: 4th

My Prediction: 6th
