Charlie Nicholas has reassessed his pre-season predictions after the opening weeks of the 2016/17 Premier League season. With seven games played, Pep Guardiolas Manchester City sit top of the table, having won six of their matches so far, while Tottenham are the leagues only remaining unbeaten side.Having missed out on a place in Charlies original top four, have Spurs done enough to make the grade this time around? Read on to find out... Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Charlies original top-four v latest top-four prediction Charlies original prediction Charlies latest prediction 1. Man City 1. Man City 2. Arsenal 2. Arsenal 3. Man Utd 3. Liverpool 4.Liverpool 4. Tottenham My original top four was Man City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool, but I would change that having watched the first few games of the season.Man City still look really strong, despite the slip-up against Spurs, although I do think Pep may have concerns about some of his players now.Aleksandar Kolarov is not a centre-half and he may even have worries about him playing at left-back too. He is great on the ball, but looks weak defensively. Gael Clichy is the same, and I dont know his preference between Bacary Sagna and Pablo Zabaleta.John Stones has been on the bench a few times too so it seems to be a confusing picture at the back. Still, despite all that, theyre top of the Premier League! Watch Aleksandar Kolarov’s own goal against Tottenham Arsenal stay second because they have looked good in recent weeks, securing a massive win at home to Chelsea and following that with a narrow victory over Burnley.Sometimes when youre not playing well, you just need to grind out a result and thats what Arsenal did at Turf Moor. You could see the smiles on the Arsenal players faces at the end because you knew they thought it was a big three points. Watch Laurent Koscielny’s controversial winner against Burnley Ive changed my mind on Spurs, who do look like a top-four side. Reassessing the situation now, I would probably go Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs in fourth.Mauricio Pochettinos side have crashed the idea Man City were marching to the title. Every system is vulnerable and Tottenham showed you can still play on the front foot against Guardiolas team.As for Liverpool, we all enjoyed Jurgen Klopp on Monday Night Football, but his team is prone to mood swings defensively. For me, they are not strong enough to win the title, but Im tipping them to make the top four with no European football.After that, I am dropping Man United to fifth having originally put them third. Jose Mourinho is stuck because he has spent a fortune on big-money buys, and the big-money buys, especially Paul Pogba, are still trying to adapt. Watch Paul Pogba’s missed chances against Stoke Pogba does not understand - at least he doesnt appear to - that he can play his part in a disciplined team. Its all about him and Zlatan Ibrahimovic linking up at the moment, and his constant shots from 30 yards.If he was an academy youngster coming into the team, people would be screaming and moaning at him but because hes new and £89m, you let him off. He is allowed to just do what he wants. It will click eventually, and it might click soon, but Ive got a feeling it will take a bit of time.Chelsea and Leicester City have been poor in comparison to the other clubs and I think a top-half finish will represent a good season for Claudio Ranieris side.I expect Chelsea to get stronger but they have issues there and have badly missed John Terry in recent games. I would peg them about seventh, fighting with teams like Southampton.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

Riethers apparent stamp on Manchester United midfielder Adnan Januzaj during Saturdays Premier League match at Craven Cottage was missed by the match officials. A three-man panel of former referees reviewed the incident and all agreed that it was a sending-off offence.PARIS - Bordeaux coach Willy Sagnol has apologized for making disparaging comments about African players in football, although he still maintains they were misinterpreted against a backlash of widespread criticism.Sagnol, capped 58 times by France and a member of the team which lost the 2006 World Cup final, gave a question and answer session Tuesday to readers of Sud Ouest regional newspaper when the subject of African players was raised.The advantage of what I would call the typical African player is that he isnt expensive when you sign him, (he is) a player who is ready for combat, but football isnt just about that, Sagnol said.Explaining himself, he continued: Football is also (about) technique, intelligence. You need a bit of everything. You need Nordics too, Nordics are good.Speaking Thursday at a pre-match news conference ahead of Saturdays game with Lens, Sagnol tried to explain his comments.If by my lack of clarity, or my imperfect semantics, I may have shocked, humiliated or hurt people then I am sorry, Sagnol said. The interpretation that these people may have made does not reflect my way of thinking in any way or my humanist convictions.However, he said the comments made sense in a sporting context.When I spoke about the African (player) who is cheaper and ready for combat, I simply meant to talk about the young African player arriving in Europe with all of his will to win and often to escape from a precarious situation, Sagnol continued as he read from pre-prepared notes. Then, since we were in a debate about football, the intelligence I spoke of was obviously related to tactical intelligence. The forming of young players in Africa, probably because of a lack of financial means, or (lack) of infrastructure, isnt always as complete as whats available in Europe.Sagnol distanced himself from accusations that his viewpoint was offensive.In no way did I mean to talk about an individuals intelligence in the proper sense of the term.dddddddddddd Regarding certain accusations of racism, Im 37 (and) Ive spent 32 of them in a football dressing room. Ive never had a problem with anyone, the former Bayern Munich player said.But Lens coach Antoine Kombouare, who was born in New Caledonia, is among those who felt offended by Sagnol.Lets make things clear: this is not a case of him being clumsy. Hes really messed up, Kombouare said. What he said is serious. Its unacceptable. Explaining that an African player is cheaper ... I felt humiliated and hurt.The International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICRA) strongly condemned Sagnol, as did former Marseille president Pape Diouf, who called for African players to boycott one round of French league games in protest.French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet, who formerly employed Sagnol as coach of Frances Under-21 side, defended him, while former teammate Lilian Thuram — an active anti-racism campaigner — was more measured.I played alongside Willy, hes somebody I respect. I know him very well, Thuram told Sud Ouest. I dont think you should put Willy Sagnol on trial, but you should put prejudice on trial. Each one of us harbours some prejudice, which is why people working in football, who have a certain exposure to the media, should be educated on this subject.Sagnols captain at Bordeaux is Senegal international Lamine Sane, who called Sagnols comments clumsy before defending him, as did club president Jean-Louis Triaud.He doesnt have any twisted ideas. He believes in all the black players in the team, Sane told French radio. We believe in him and we hope to go very far with him.Bordeaux forward Henri Saivet, who is black, told RMC radio that Sagnol apologized.We all now pertinently well that the coach is not a racist, Saivet said. Its true that, at first, we asked ourselves a few questions. But he explained how it happened. He apologized to the players. That was very important. ' ' '
