If you had your strongest 11 available I think we would probably lose, but the injuries and suspensions have certainly given us an opportunity. Will we take it? I don't know, our away form is nowhere near our home form although I'd caveat that by saying we have had harder away games than home games, already playing Newcastle, Liverpool and Chelsea away and now you guys. The Forest and Wolves games weren't great but they low blocked us all game and we missed good chances in both games.

I do worry about our high line against Son and Johnson is also quick, I wonder whether Unai will adjust accordingly today. Likewise I think our attack will cause your central defence problems. Definitely think there could be goals in this, just hoping we score more than you

Can your attackers run quite fast?

If so, our defence is going to have big problems.

I was back to looking forward to games and enjoying them but the football gods, luck and self infliction have put me back to the last few seasons dreading games and the end results.

With the forced playing Dier and Davies we have little or no chance unless villa don’t turn up, var, or ref does us some favours.

It’s going to a bumpy ride till Jan where we will not be ready to bring in new blood once again.

The joys of being a spurs fan….. not allowed to say Yido anymore are we.

Sitting in Belfast Airport waiting for my flight...First time going to the Lane.
Almost asked my grand daughter to cancel the tickets ( Christmas present)after the Chelsea game but I'll enjoy it nonetheless

Diaby and Watkins are quick. Bailey too but he probably won't start.

That's almost like as if Sonny just scored us a goal

Hearing we might be trying one of the youngsters instead.

Villa have just equalised and then taken the lead now

Would be nice to see both Bentancur & Lo Celso start… & having a real go in this match…

Let Hojbjerg sit deep … with Bents & Lo Celso prompting attacks…

Tough game. A draw would be a good result given our situation I guess. At least Udogie is back though which also means you can use Davies as a CB if need be.

Yeah maybe try GLC see if his 1 goal in 58 appearances can help boost our attack.
