Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 19 January 2014)

Swansea vs Tottenham Hotspur

The question on everyone’s mind is still “is Timmy the real deal?”!

Since taking over from the departed AVB, our new manager has had relatively soft matchups in the League (except for the win at Old Trafford). So will we continue our good away form at Swansea this Sunday?

The Swans have a massive injury list and so the team will not be at full strength. A run of tricky results have left them 13th in the table and their last 2 home games have been losses.

For Spurs, we welcome back Vertonghen, Kaboul, Lamela and Townsend to full training. Townsend had a good practice match midweek with the U21 side so he should be ready to go for the senior side. These are matches we need to win to keep pace and I expect it to be a tough one with Spurs just edging out the home side.
