The Saints started the season well; it even seemed that they could quite challenge for a top-7 finish in the league, although they usually finish 6th))) Injuries + fatigue—I think they will not want to fight in the cup and will focus on the Premier League.
Judging by the latest game, Tottenham without their leader will not get past Chelsea. There are still many factors, but I decided to try to base my prediction specifically on this.
