While speaking on the Sky Sports, Neville said :-

“I don’t think they are [title contenders], honestly. I don’t think they are.

“But I think that this is something that’ll settle down in the next few months but if for some reason the rest of the teams aren’t quite there and Tottenham obviously aren’t in other competitions.

“They’re not in Europe, not in the Carabao Cup, they have free weeks so if they can keep their players.

“The one thing I will add about January is that if they’re in contention in January and they’re up there then why wouldn’t they boost the squad slightly to have a go at it?

“If City aren’t quite there and Arsenal slip up, then why wouldn’t you have a little got?

“I don’t think Tottenham are a good enough squad or a good enough team to win the league, but what they’re doing at this moment in time is surpassing all expectations of where we thought they would be.

“He [Ange Postecoglou] is doing a great job for them.”
