If the last two seasons are anything to go by, Tottenham are due for a good next three months.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino is known for working his players physically hard in training and in the last two years it has taken a while for the benefits of the extra conditioning to translate into results.
But there are signs Spurs may be coming good. Even though they lost 2-1 at Chelsea in the Premier Peague two weeks ago, they were the first team to go toe-to-toe against Chelsea for more than two months. With a bit of luck and a bit more tactical savvy, Spurs could easily have come away with a point.
