The fight starts behind the leading couple, with Conte’s Tottenham no longer so sure of being the third force

With Arsenal and City stopped due to the Gunners’ commitment to the Europa League, the verdict of the midweek round is that Tottenham have found themselves less strong than they thought they were. Conte’s team remains the best of the rest, in the standings as in the Power Ranking Gazzetta, but the distance from those who are chasing is now much smaller.
