Tottenham has been one of the better teams barring one slip up. Question to be asked, will they bounce back or encounter their first back-to-back run of losses.

Spurs go into this one with three wins and one loss, leaving them in fifth place with nine points. The problems for the home side is far greater than the visitors.

Two key players missing due to injury leaves the manager with some thinking. Stopper Hugo Lloris, missing since the Watford fixture will not be fit in time for the game – where he will definitely be missed between the sticks.

In midfield, Tottenham will be without Dele Alli, who was racing against time to get fit, but was ruled out yesterday afternoon. But not all is lost for the North London side, as they have a lethal threat returning from international duty, Son.

He will provide a boost and an option for Mauricio up front, after losing an attacker in Alli. This gives them a big threat up front, which is needed against the league’s best defence this season.

Kane, Moura, and Son (Who I am expecting to start) will provide the Reds defence with a great contest and one needed to see how much they have really improved at the back.
