I can't see us losing any midfield battle. We'll have Dave, KDB, Fern, Walker and Delph in midfield for most of the game, with Sterling and Jesus dropping back as needed. I think that battle is won already. We'll control the game I think and get many, many chances. The question is whether we'll take enough of them and whether we'll contain Spurs on the break enough. I fear they'll score a couple and we need to score 3 or more.We need dinho in the middle and ky on the right if they flood the midfield
I am resigned to them scoring and ali being a diving prick so a few free kicks and maybe a pen,i'm certain if we dig in we can draw or win thoughI can't see us losing any midfield battle.

Too much respect being shown to the spuds, the more they come at us the more we will punish them.
