Is there really a “Big Four” left anymore?

Spurs, while not quite at the stage of title contenders, are doing their utmost to prove that their fourth place finish of 2010 was not merely a flash in the pan. Harry Redknapp, drafted in during the early stages of the 2008-2009 season when Spurs were languished in the bottom three, has a team full of verve, pace and skilled individuals. Gone are the days when Tottenham fans would expect a season of mid-table mediocrity, with the flair they have on show they can fully expect to be strong contenders for a top four spot once again this season. They have frightening pace on the wings in Lennon and Bale, an engine room spearheaded by summer signing Scott Parker and healthy options up front in Adebayor, van der Vaart and Defoe.

City have started this season like a house on fire, winning seven of their eight games and scoring 33 goals in the process and Spurs, after having lost their first two games (one of which was a 5-1 trouncing at home to City no less), have picked up some good form and won five of their last six. With the form displayed by both sides and the rich array of talent on show, it’s no surprise to see their respective positions in the table. The Big Four has, almost certainly, become the Big Six.
