Tottenham Hotspur start their new Premier League season with a home game against newly-promoted side Aston Villa.
Mauricio Pochettino has established Spurs as a top-top team in England, and they are once again expected to qualify for the Champions League.
That said, with every transfer window, the teams, especially the traditional big teams, are becoming stronger, with an aim to break into the top-four. There is no guarantee now, for any team, irrespective of the profile or the past achievements, they have to start every season from scratch.
