Why Spurs’ January transfers will push them towards the Champions League

After a break for Christmas and New Year, Edge of the Box is back with a bang as Dan Bardell, George Elek and Jonathan Wilson look ahead to the weekend's action!
Tottenham's trip to Manchester United is the pick of the games with Timo Werner in line to make his Spurs debut on Sunday. With Radu Dragusin tipped to feature too, will Tottenham's January signings push them towards the Champions League? Or will United bring the north London side back down to earth?
The panel also look into Newcastle's welcome of Manchester City on Saturday evening and assess how, or if, Kevin De Bruyne's return to fitness will impact Phil Foden's flying form. With the January transfer window in full swing, should Newcastle make a move for a new goalkeeper this month?
All that and more is covered in this week's episode of Edge of the Box!

The truth is that both Spurs and United's league positions hide how mediocre they've actually been, which might explain the individual ratings.

Spurs have been mediocre? I want what this guy has been smoking this season😂

[@LittleNicky-gs8nn]

They have only been outplayed in two games.

@rajhouse8794 I can only recommend watching the actual games rather than the league table, an idea that's gone out of fashion a bit with what passes for punditry these days (this channel is one of the few places where you get good analysis/discussion).
Spurs in particular are weak defensively. Postecoglou deploys this admirably aggressive press, but it's too easy to bypass, and they don't regain control and shape well when its been broken. Vicario has bailed them out regularly.
