Tottenham hosts a team of which has never lost in the Premier League. The last three meetings between these two teams ended in wins for Spurs and it seems quite likely that this statistics will be preserved. Even without Gareth Bale, Tottenham remains very strong team, which will pursue a place among the top 4 in the league.
Swansea`s programme is definitely very unpleasant, as the team had to host in the first round the current champions of Manchester United. Afterwards, the team is in for a whole 3 consecutive matches as a guest. After these visits, Swansea will host Liverpool and then Arsenal. Undoubtedly, the team of Michael Laudrup, which performed excellently last season, will do everything possible to gain the most out of these games.
The team of Tottenham Hotspur is traditionally strong in front of own audience, winning 9 of their last 13 home matches in the league. What might be concerning Villas Boas is the serious distance that his players had to travel this week. They have less than 3 days to recover from the fatigue accumulated by traveling to Georgia for the match of the Europa League playoffs. Bale`s departure is almost certain, which also will certainly have some influence on the spurs. However, in attack, Soldado , Sigurdsson and Lennon are a serious threat to the defence of Swansea.
