Former Arsenal player Bakary Sagna is confident that Tottenham will falter in their title challenge before the end of this season.
Currently, the Lilywhites are at the top of the league standings, marking a remarkable start to the season considering last season’s challenges.
Tottenham lost Harry Kane in the summer transfer window, and many anticipated they would struggle even to maintain their position in the league. However, they have exceeded expectations and are now in the early title race.
Nonetheless, Sagna remains unconvinced, suggesting that their current success reflects their typical early-season form and that he expects them to fall from the top of the league table eventually. He anticipates Arsenal and Manchester City challenging for the title once more.
He said, as quoted by The Sun:
“The title race will be between Arsenal and Manchester City as Spurs will collapse, as usual.
“And that’s not just me speaking as an Arsenal fan. I don’t see them being consistent enough all season.
“Apart from Heung-Min Son, I don’t see anyone in that team that can lead the team or play a vital role in Spurs’ title race.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Tottenham has been a surprising contender this season, but it’s still premature to label them as contenders for the league title.
However, it’s important to note that they won’t make it easy for us to become champions, so we must maintain our hard work and continue winning our matches.

They will have a say in who wins the title, they have a strong base to spring from and they will win big matches. That being said, Arsenal are hungry they get problem for belle. We want to eat.
It is too early to tell how the season will turn out. Certain clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool will be in the mix, due to the depth and quality of their squads; however a run of injuries, loss of players to AFCON or suspensions can change everything.
Newcastle United. Aston Villa, Brighton and even West Ham should be up their competing for European places. All these teams have the ability to take points off the favourites (given City lost to Wolves).
As for Tottenham, they are a different team under Ange Postecoglou. One only has to look at the progress he has made so far this season. At the moment Spurs’ squad appears to lack the depth for a sustained challenge. However, so far they have lost Pulisic and Solomon for long term injuries, as Arsenal has lost Timber and both clubs are coping.
If Levy supports Postecoglou in the January window to give him the players he wants and Spurs do not lose critical players (similarly applies to other clubs) then they will be in the mix. Underestimate Postecoglou at your peril; he is a serial winner, who hates losing.
