How do we rate our chances today ? Always a difficult game these days against spurs and generally whoever "turns up" tends to win it. Alot has been made about our injuries and suspensions but I actually feel we're in a much better position than last week. Having seen rudiger play im not worried about him replacing Cahill at all. Having Moses back is a huge boost, we just never look right without him or Alonso at wing back. These aren't the sort of games fabregas does well in, every spurs player is athletic and dynamic and he just tends to gets lost, so provided Bakayoko is fit im excited to see how our midfield two compete. Attacking midfield is the big question mark at the minute with Pedro and hazard both in contention after injuries, even if both made the bench it would be a huge boost, having some top draw attacking talent to bring on. Willian looks back to his best and I would be happy to see boga get more than 16 minutes or musonda given his first chance. After his performance last week Morata has to start and should provide us much more of an option up top than bats did last week and I'm tipping him to score today. How's everyone else feel ?

This game is coming at the wrong time for us .
Toytenham will have there spirits high , team confidence will be strong.
We would ideally need our strongest 11 to win this , we do not and therefore it will be a challenge.
My heart feel we can squeeze a draw , but my mind worries we will lose.
In the end its really all about the performance, decent performance will mean everything.

Look I think we will lose this game
But I don't think it will be the end of the world we lost two very early last season and it didn't matter
I think we will lose purely down to personne, unfit or half fit players playing against as iffy said very athletic players.
If we can get a draw then great
Head says loss though

Fancy Spurs because we have the spine of our team missing.. Cahill, Bakayoko, Hazard and Costa has gone AWOL. Pedro might not feature but there's always a chance.

Normally confident going into games with Spurs but I do have concerns today. They seem to have momentum and are settled going into the game and we seem a bit in disarray. We can still scrape together a reasonably strong side so let's hope that the occasion makes us turn up. Would take a draw if given the opportunity right now but I am fearing the worst.

Expectation are low in this game, hopefully we pull it off today. Also, hoping for a professional performance from the officials today, well at least better than the one vs Burnley .

2 0 to Spurs is my feeling but will wait to see ourc5eam. I do think an inspired Luiz in midfield can make a difference

If we are permitted to keep 11 players on the pitch it will be a great help.

Depends on how dominant our wing-backs/Willian are in stretching play (on big pitch) and providing Morata with accurate crosses to attack and whether Boga/Musonda and Christensen with their unknown quantity can pull something out of the bag to catch Spurs out.
Close game it will be...despite no Hazard, Pedro & Fabregas starting.
