What happened
This is the 20th installment in The Guardian's club-by-club preview series for the 2026-27 Premier League season, focusing on Tottenham. Preview pieces of this nature typically examine squad changes, managerial situation, key players, tactical outlook, and likely league finish.

Chance analysis
Tottenham enter another Premier League campaign under intense scrutiny, as preseason previews tend to surface the questions every Spurs supporter carries into August: has the squad been reshaped enough to compete at the top end of the table, and which players will define the team's identity this season? Guardian previews have a strong tradition of flagging both ceiling and floor for each club, making them a useful temperature check before the fixtures begin. For readers tracking the North London club, this piece functions as a season-defining narrative anchor.
A season preview frames expectations but does not directly alter team performance; its influence is primarily on media and fan perception ahead of the opening fixtures.
