Spurs is a potential banana skin. I expected a win last season after our performance against them two seasons back. But Spurs have the tendency to up their tempo against us and match our intensity.
They're the ones most likely to set up against us differently and have a measure of how to attack the space we have from our high press. I expect them to run more to press our players and they might just have the players to limit our passing options. Regardless of their poor run of form at the moment which should benefit us, we don't want a Spurs resurgence on the day we face them.
Hopefully Pep would have a few tactical responses to what I regard as our biggest league test footballing wise.
As long as the gap to 2nd is > 10 points, I'm going to relax about the title chances.Think we'll win the lot

What a result that would beThe good thing about the Spurs game is that they will be without D.Sanchez and Alderweireld. Two of their first choice CBs. Vertonghen is also on 4 yellows meaning a yellow against Brighton makes him miss our match.

After what happened last season. Our away loss that destabilized us and home 2-2 draw that was completely undeserved, we should be extra motivated to win. Not to mention the other comments from Poch about Pep and our club.
It is a match I’m desperately hoping we win as I don’t like Poch especially.
