Tottenham Hotspur have begun their new life under first year manager Thomas Frank in a good way, but there is obviously plenty of work to do. This young season has seen plenty of injury issues, just like last term. However, in 2024-25 it is not totally derailing them, like it did in 2024-25.
While Tottenham finished well into the safety zone, points wise, in the table they ended up in the last spot right above the drop.
