5. Andre Villas-Boas
Andre Villas-Boas' Tottenham have suffered defeats in four of their last five Premier League fixtures, and in spite of a win today over West Ham United,
that 5-2 defeat to London rivals Arsenal is bound to sting. They are currently seventh in the League Table, five points off a Champions League place. Spurs have had some decent results this season, notably the 3-2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in September, but since then have failed to win against any of the top teams; they were beaten 4-2 by Chelsea before losing to City and Arsenal. They also face another big team next week in the form of Liverpool, and that will be a real test for Andre Villas-Boas. It is an opportunity to prove that Tottenham can beat the big teams in the Premier League. Failure to do so however may put a bit of pressure on the shoulders of the former Chelsea manager.
