Tottenham fans will love Danny Murphy's Premier League prediction after Newcastle disaster

It was a torrid afternoon for Tottenham Hotspur as they were defeated 1-0 by Newcastle United.

Many had the clash in north London down as a home banker but Joelinton's effort proved decisive as Spurs had their positive start to the season brought to an end.

That loss was a blow for Tottenham, but it's far from disastrous.

That's the view of Danny Murphy who is still backing Mauricio Pochettino's side to finish in the Premier League's top four, ahead of London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal.

Speaking to the Mirror, Murphy said: "I think Liverpool will win the league this year.

"Only one club had done it three times on the trot and I think Man City will be so Champions League focused.

"So I'm going Liverpool, City and then Tottenham, I think they'll take third.

"I actually think fourth will go to Man United. I think Chelsea will do all right and Frank Lampard is a great appointment.

"But United have gone big in the market and the quality they have in the final third - I mean there is doom and gloom around them, but I think they'll surprise a few."
