The new Premier League season is upon us, and with it comes a slew of predictions from fans and pundits alike. Now, we know where Jamie Carragher believes Tottenham will finish in the 2024/25 campaign, and it’s an improvement on last year.
Spurs can push on this season
Tottenham finished fifth in Ange Postecoglou‘s first season in charge. Considering the dismal performances from the season previous, and the fact Harry Kane had moved on, it wasn’t a bad first year for the new Spurs boss.
Now, with the squad more accustomed to his style of play, new players brought in, and a number of fringe players moving on, the Tottenham squad is in a better place all around.
So, it figures then that Jamie Carragher has got Spurs down to improve this season, albeit by just one spot.
The Sky Sports pundit revealed his predictions for the top six in the Premier League this season, and put Manchester City top, with Arsenal second, Liverpool third, and Tottenham in fourth. Manchester United and Aston Villa round out the European places.
While Carragher reeled off the top three pretty quickly, he deliberated for a second or two on naming Spurs in fourth, which suggests the race for Champions League football will be close again this season.

Postecoglou has one target
That fourth-placed finish may not be enough for Postecoglou’s high standards, though. He told Men In Blazers recently that he was not happy that Spurs finished 20 points behind City and Arsenal last season and that his main objective this year is to close that gap.
Postecoglou also reiterated that winning trophies is the ultimate goal with Tottenham.

I think you’d have to be fairly happy with a top-four finish this season as it would represent good progress.
For me, there’s no reason why we can’t finish above Liverpool, too, as they are in a period of transition now under a new manager. However, the key is, we need to win a trophy somewhere this year.
