Spurs (H) - Sat 19th Feb, 17:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

17:30 Kick off time (GMT), live on Sky Sports for those in the UK.

This is a game where we can really put our foot down and demoralise the competition. Spurs account for 1 of our 2 league defeats this season, so we need to put that one right as well. Liverpool play Norwich before us, so it's more than likely the gap will be down to 6 points, so expect that narrative from Sky.

Expect the Harry Kane angle to crop up again.

Hopefully seeing off Sporting early tonight means our lads will be well rested for this.

Hate playing spurs my brother supports them and at times it feels as though we are cursed against them. Really hope we beat them but I think it will be a draw with us missing plenty of chances and son scoring for them.

I think you'll find that in the last ten years we've not merely beaten them but smashed them more often than not.

Judging by the pre match stats in the opening post we have beaten them once in our last 5 meetings in the league and are still yet to win or draw at their new ground.

We have had unbelievable amounts of bad luck against them in recent years. The cup final last year was a nice win however and went some way to appeasing that champions league defeat.

We need to win this. I’ll be watching it in Epsom with a Spurs fan.
