Spurs host Manchester United this weekend and the first piece of team news is out courtesy of Press Association Sport’s Jonathan Veal. Without seeking to be rude, the absence of Ben Davies and Matt Doherty is unlikely to particularly hinder our chances.
Despite the occasionally terminal mood outside the club, we’ve played well at home recently, winning three straight Premier League games, however, by the same token, our last three league defeats here came against sides that were in top seven placings.
Tottenham has lost just one of their last eight Premier League home games. Scoring first and then slipping into an incompetence coma is a big worry. So don’t read this next bit – Nobody has outscored Manchester United after the 80th minute in the league. Hopefully, our coaches can communicate this risk to our valiant boys.
