Tottenham Hotspur vs Hull City FC
This is Spurs vs Hull part deux!
Hull made it tough for us last Sunday and we only won because of a penalty even though we had almost 70% possession. I expect similar tactics from them today again with a 5-4-1 formation designed to frustrate the home side.
Spurs will field a fairly strong side as AVB has publicly made the war cry that we will want to win trophies. He is expected to ring the changes with a number of first team players given a well-earned rest. Hugo Lloris, Michael Dawson, Paulinho, Sandro, Andros Townsend and Roberto Soldado are among those likely to be given a breather.
Defender Danny Rose remains out with a toe problem while Younes Kaboul is also struggling to overcome an abductor injury. Midfielder Etienne Capoue is not yet ready to return as he continues his rehabilitation from an ankle injury so Lewis Holtby could play in a deeper role. Youngster Zeki Fryers is a doubt with a groin injury but he might be risked at left-back, while Brad Freidel, Erik Lamela, Nacer Chadli and Jermaine Defoe are expected to start.
Given Hull’s excellent start to the season, I expect this to be a slim win for us again.
