Tottenham Hotspur are enjoying an extremely strong start to their 2020/21 Premier League season. After beating title contenders Manchester City and putting six past Manchester United, many have raised the question of whether this could be the year Spurs take home the glory.

Of course, it's very early days still and the nature of the Premier League has proven that absolutely anything can happen. However, with the Lilywhites putting pressure on the league's best and three-time title winner Jose Mourinho spearheading the team, they have just as good a chance as anyone else.

Gary Mabbutt certainly believes that he could finally see his former side lift the Premier League trophy.

When Football FanCast asked the ex-defender if Spurs are in with a chance of winning the title, he was quick to voice his belief in the north London outfit.

"Absolutely. Looking at the table so far this season and looking at the performances from all the teams, everybody has weaknesses that can be exploited," Mabbutt said. "It was key showing against Manchester City that we got our tactics right. We sat back, we soaked up the pressure and then on the counter attack we exploited their defence."

Indeed, the likes of City and Liverpool have shown their weaknesses this season and both are missing key players through injury. Chelsea's lavish summer spending hasn't paid off yet either, with Kai Havertz underperforming so far.

Meanwhile, Spurs have the most in-form forwards in the league with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min leading the line. The duo have a combined 16 goals and 11 assists after just nine matches played (via BBC Sport). The addition of loan signing Gareth Bale has also boosted morale. The ability to dig deep and grind out results is showcasing Mourinho's grit and his determination to win.

"For myself, I think it's a realistic chance for us this season," Mabbutt concluded.
