(Baonghean.vn) - Starting with 3 consecutive victories, Tottenham players are confident in their ability to compete for the Premier League championship. Strangely enough, last summer, Tottenham became the first club in the Premier League not to recruit any new names.

With 3 wins, scoring 8 goals and conceding 2, ranking 2nd in the rankings after the port city team Liverpool, "The Rooster" is having the best start since 2009. Tottenham has a tradition of slow starts and that always makes them lose the chance to compete for the Premier League championship.

This year, they have not made any personnel additions but have accelerated right from the beginning of the season. Coach Mauricio Pochettino's team has truly matured and built a strong image in the past few years. With the current squad, Mauricio Pochettino can completely reach the prestigious championships in the domestic and European arenas.

Stabilize the gameplay

England international Toby Alderweireld is a hot name in the transfer market, Man Utd and Real Madrid have also shown special interest in this defender, but in the end Tottenham have succeeded in keeping Alderweireld.

Center-back Alderweireld has the ability to predict and block opponents' shots excellently, and at the same time, he coordinates well with Trippier, Rose, Walker, Aurier, Sanchez. This will be a powerful card for strategist Pochettino in improving his defensive ability.

Last season, they conceded only 36 goals (38 matches) and this record could be improved even more this year. Especially when standing in the goal is captain Hugo Lloris, the "goalkeeper" of the reigning world champions France, who had an extremely excellent tournament in Russia last summer.

In attack, Tottenham have Harry Kane, the player who won the Golden Boot award at the recent World Cup with 6 goals scored for the England team. This striker has the ability to finish successfully from any position on the field and is one of the most formidable strikers in the world. In particular, Kane receives great support from teammates Son, Alli and Eriksen in creating situations.

Harry Kane has been the top scorer in two-thirds of the last Premier League season, with a total of 84 goals, but failed to score in August. However, things are different now, with the 25-year-old heading into September with two goals, the latest being the opening goal in a resounding 3-0 win away to Man United.

Midfield, under the guidance of Pochettino and the coaching staff, Tottenham's squad has more depth. Christian Eriksen can play with any midfielder and not disappoint the fans.

In the last three games, Eriksen has been doing a good job of controlling the tempo of the midfield and is the driving force of the London team. Dele Alli, Eriksen and Dembele have all significantly improved their defensive ability, while creating scoring opportunities for the strikers and themselves. Meanwhile, the midfield has really been Tottenham's strength this season and strategist Pochettino is confident that he does not need to buy any more players.

The Ultimate Challenge

Pochettin and his students will have a "big battle" with Liverpool in round 6 at home, before that they will have an away trip to host Watford. Interestingly, both Watford and Liverpool are in the group of 4 teams that have won all 3 matches at the beginning of the season.

Last season, Watford started quite well, at one point climbing to 3rd place in the rankings. However, changes in the coaching staff caused the Bees to plummet and fall to 14th place.

Last summer, coach Javi Gracia lost star Nordin Amrabat to a Middle Eastern team, and continued to watch with heartache as rising star Richarlison moved to Everton. In return, the Bees received about 44 million pounds for the two deals. This amount of money was enough for them to buy Gerard Deulofeu from Barca for approximately 12 million pounds. In addition, Watford also recruited a series of quality names such as Ben Foster, Marc Navarro, Ben Wilmot, Adam Masina, Ken Sema.

After this week, the list of 4 teams with all-win records in the Premier League will have 1 less, which of the 2 names?Will Tottenham and Watford be eliminated? Watford with home advantage or Tottenham with Tottenham's support?
