The build-up…

It’s our first journey to Spurs’ fancy new stadium right now, so it’s been a visit that many people fancied when the fixtures have been launched – and it’s a very good one to kick off away days in 2026, though I did just like the obscured view we used to have at White Hart Lane.

It’s not only a first rate journey due to the primary go to to their new toy, but it surely doesn’t look too dangerous on paper. We’re at present taking a look at some extent per recreation on the street – 9 factors from 9 video games in case you have been questioning in regards to the maths – however I obtained a shock after I checked out Spurs’ residence type.

On the time of writing, solely Burnley, West Ham United, and Wolves have taken fewer factors on their very own patch, with simply two wins on the board of their 9 video games thus far. The primary of these wins got here on the opening day in opposition to Burnley, and the second was a current 2-0 victory over Brentford firstly of December.

Any supervisor of Spurs with runs like this has to get barely nervous – even with out the presence of Daniel Levy – however with Thomas Frank, it undoubtedly seems like they are going to give him the time he wants.

However our report in opposition to Spurs is crap. We haven’t overwhelmed them residence or away in any competitors within the earlier 13 video games, which takes us again to the Darren Bent recreation in 201,0 the place he scored two and missed a penalty in a 3-1 win. At their place, we return to August 2008 when Roy Keane’s Sunderland beat Juande Ramos’ facet 2-1 with targets from Kieran Richardson and Djibril Cisse, who scored on his debut that day.

It’s been the very best a part of twenty years since we beat them down there, so hopefully we’re due one.

The betting…

The bookies have the Lads at 18/5 to win the sport, whereas Spurs are priced at 4/5, and the draw is 9/4.
