Barcelona

Their top score was the Mexican Hirving Lozano who scored 15 in the league. Had a great WC could do bits in the CL this year.
Tottenham

Had a their best ever performance in the tournament last season. Topping the group of death (Beating Dortmund home and away and beating and drawing with Real Madrid)
Got narrowly knocked out by Juventus in the last 16, were unlucky.
Finished 3rd in the Prem last season (4 points behind Man Utd)
Kane was their top scorer in the prem with 30 goals
Kane also top scorer in the WC

Verdict:
Barcelona should top this group
And PSV should come bottom
It will be super tight between Spurs and Inter who can nab 2nd
Judging from the recent form of both Spurs and Inter, and the fact Spurs performed well in the comp last season I fancy Spurs to finish 2nd
Prediction:
1. Barcelona
2. Tottenham
3. Inter
4. PSV
