Live football updates from Sunday’s top-flight fixtures.
The team appears more cohesive, with players positioned in their preferred roles. The midfield’s energy is a positive, although concerns remain about the team’s goal-scoring capabilities. None of the forwards consistently create their own chances, and there’s a noticeable absence of wingers and creative support behind the attacking line. Nevertheless, there is anticipation regarding Tottenham’s performance after implementing new instructions over the past few weeks. It’s unlikely that the manager will alter his approach significantly for fear of causing confusion; expect a consistent tactical plan moving forward.

Live football updates from Sunday’s top-flight fixtures.
The side deployed appears more solid, with players in their natural positions. In particular, the energy in midfield is appreciated, though concerns persist about where the goals will originate from. None of the front three can reliably create for themselves, and there’s a lack of wingers and invention around and behind them. All that said, there’s genuine excitement to see how Spurs will perform, having had a couple of weeks to absorb new instructions. It’s highly doubted that the manager will leave things as they are for fear of confusing the players; his instructions are expected to be the standard moving forward.
