Spurs (h) pre-match thread

[Ric]

Will be a tough game this, after both teams made winning starts to the season. Under Guardiola, we’ve won two and drawn one of our three home games against Spurs. Think we’ll see pretty much the same team as yesterday, but Bernardo could well come back in. Be harsh to drop Mahrez after though.

1st home game of the season and the atmosphere will be fantastic. Will be a tough test but think we will have too much for them.

I hope they bring their first half game v Villa for both halves.

Be interesting to see how Rodri does next week. Fernandinho would start this one for me if he’s fit, just think it would be best if Rodri was eased into the team over the course of the season.

I watched that game and they were struggling to break Villa down and Im not sure whether spuds upped their game or Villa ran out of steam.

Bit of both, I think Villa bottled it as they were so close to a win and just sat deeper and deeper. Erickson coming on made a difference and the Spuds battered them in the last 29 minutes.

Could arguably become our strongest challengers over the season, and I expect a hard, physical contest. A draw would not be the worst result, but a defeat would just add to their confidence; similarly, a win for us would likely dent them. An interesting sideshow will be Rodri v Ndombele.
