I don't think Tottenham can keep that position with their current form; they've been playing very poorly since their match against Manchester United; their midfield is very open, and they lack a strong midfielder to control the ball; as a result, they lose possession very quickly, which is causing them to lose. We know how sharp and good their attackers are, but their midfield is very slow, and they will struggle to win a match with such performance.
Playing at home is beyond prediction indeed, like we lost to Nottingham even though it was a team below him but this is a game anyone can win.
I bet Tottenham but had to lose too in the beginning I thought it was a good opportunity to pick him but that's what we saw Tottenham unable to hold a draw in the game let alone win at home.
I think Conte needs an even better midfielder, but I hope in the winter he does to strengthen from attack forward, but indeed Tottenham will be in danger of being displaced by his standings.
