Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 18 August 2013)

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur

Welcome one and all to the first competitive fixture of season 2013/2014.

Spurs have had an amazing off-season with transfers coming fast and furious in recent weeks. This is shaping up to be AVB’s team and all eyes will be on the pitch this Sunday to see what they are made off. Talk has been rife that we will deploy a 4-3-3 formation with new Spanish signing Soldado spearheading the attack up front. I do expect Paulinho to start in midfield with Sandro, Dembele and Lennon.

Selhurst Park can be tough on opening day as Crystal Palace will be psyched that they are back in the Premier League. I expect former gunner Chamakh to lead from the front. 

The players will be finding their feet and tactics will still be setting in so I expect a close one with Spurs edging the home team 2-1!
