Tottenham Hotspur is gearing up for an exciting weekend in the Premier League. Alan Shearer, a former footballer, has high hopes for the team, predicting a potential rise to third place in the league table. The upcoming match against Ipswich Town at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be a game-changer for Spurs.
In their last three Premier League home matches, Spurs have emerged victorious, showcasing their strong home form. They have also triumphed in their last six games across all competitions. However, their performance on the road has been less consistent.
With Ipswich Town visiting N17 this weekend, manager Ange Postecoglou is eyeing another three points to wrap up the final international break of 2024 on a high note. Despite currently occupying the seventh spot in the table, Spurs have a chance to climb up to third with a win against Ipswich.
A victory in this upcoming match would propel them to 19 points, positioning them favorably in the table. Notably, they already boast the second-best goal difference in the league, only trailing behind Liverpool. The football landscape is set for some intriguing clashes this weekend, with Chelsea facing Arsenal, Aston Villa taking on Liverpool, and Nottingham Forest challenging Newcastle.
In Shearer’s predictions, he anticipates a draw between Chelsea and Arsenal, Liverpool securing a win against Villa, and a draw between Forest and Newcastle. He envisions Spurs finishing the weekend in fourth place, just behind Forest in third. However, he hints at the possibility of Newcastle securing a victory over Forest.
Regarding the match against Villa, Shearer expresses doubts about Ipswich’s ability to pose a significant challenge to Spurs. With Tottenham displaying strong performances at home in recent weeks, Shearer expects them to secure another win. He highlights the absence of Kalvin Phillips, who is suspended, as a factor that could work in Spurs’ favor.
