The ESPN FC panel predict who will finish 4th in the Premier League, with no one believing Manchester United can get it done.
Manchester City’s 2-0 victory over Manchester United may prove to the decisive moment in the title race, as Pep Guardiola’s side overcame their final serious test.

They did it, however, without John Stones. For a game against a counter-attacking United side boasting little else other than speed upfront, Guardiola chose to field the somewhat immobile Vincent Kompany alongside Aymeric Laporte. On the bench, meanwhile, was Nicolas Otamendi. Stones didn’t even make the 18-man squad, with no suggestion…

English Premier League: Harry Kane (9′) Tottenham 1-0 Southampton
Mauricio Pochettino fears Kieran Trippier has developed a persistent groin problem due to his exertions at the end of the World Cup after the right-back limped off against Southampton.
Trippier, who had been out of action since Nov. 10, played from the start in Wednesday’s 3-1 victory over the Saints and played a key role in Spurs’ third goal — but he had to leave the field in the 87th minute.
“I think it’s the same problem — the same problem that started in the World Cup,” said Pochettino in…

English Premier League: Raul Jimenez (79’PEN) Wolverhampton Wanders 1-3 Tottenham Hotspur
Mauricio Pochettino has warned Kieran Trippier that he needs to improve defensively and remember he is a full-back after Tottenham’s scare against Wolves.
Spurs were 3-0 up at Molineux on Saturday but then conceded twice from penalties to claim a 3-2 win. While 20-year-old centre-back Juan Foyth conceded both spot-kicks, Trippier was largely culpable each time, foolishly attempting a nutmeg just outside his own box and then failing to track Jonny’s run.
Trippier had earlier set up a goal for…

Riyad Mahrez netted the lone goal of the game as Man City extended their streak of not conceding a Premier League goal to 10 hours in their win at Tottenham.
Tottenham slipped five points behind Manchester City after losing to Pep Guardiola’s side for the third time in a row.

Playing on a bobbly Wembley pitch that had been ravaged by three NFL games, Spurs suffered a nightmare start and fell behind in the sixth minute as poor defending from Kieran Trippier allowed Raheem Sterling to tee up Riyad Mahrez.

The North Londoners rallied and gave their visitors a few big scares but they were unable to get back on level terms and suffered their first defeat…

Mauricio Pochettino admitted it was important for Harry Kane to finally score a goal in August.
Kieran Trippier says he hopes the experience he gained at the World Cup will help him become an even more important figure for Tottenham Hotspur this season.
The England right-back, who impressed in Russia as the country reached the semifinals, returned to action with Spurs on Saturday and scored a fine free kick to give them a 74th minute lead against Fulham, on the way to a 3-1 home win at Wembley.
“It’s crazy what a year can do because I only made my debut for England last year, and a year later…

Harry Kane scored an August goal for the first time in his career, adding to goals from Lucas Moura and Kieran Trippier in Spurs’ win over Fulham.

Mauricio Pochettino admitted it was important for Harry Kane to finally score a goal in August.
Tottenham Hotspur maintained their winning start to the season, responding to a Fulham fightback by scoring twice in the final 16 minutes at Wembley.

Lucas Moura gave Spurs a deserved half-time advantage with a fine 20-yard, curling strike, but the North Londoners had a wobble after the break and Aleksandar Mitrovic equalised with a close-range header.

Kieran Trippier restored Tottenham’s lead with a 74th-minute free kick though, and Harry Kane then put the hosts out of sight, scoring his first…
