Alan Shearer says Tottenham Hotspur are still very much in the title race

Tottenham Hotspur have lost six Premier League games in 2018-19, but they are just five points behind joint-leaders Manchester City and Liverpool, and it’s safe to say that the north London side are still very much in the title race despite not being huge favourites.

It’s a sentiment Newcastle legend Alan Shearer also shares, and he believes Spurs have an advantage over the top two given that not many talk about them.

“While everyone is talking about the top two, few people are talking about Spurs, and that will suit them perfectly. They’ve won their last three games in difficult circumstances, missing big players in recent weeks, Kane, Son, Alli, and when you can grind out results when things aren’t going your way, that’s an impressive sign,” Shearer told Coral.
