With this in mind there is an obvious change to our team, but its not as bad as that (you all forget who we have back).
Scott Parker has returned to fitness and has looked his usual reliable self. If there is anyone that I know could fill in for Sandro and potentially more its Scott Parker.
With the loss of Adebayor you can certainly bet on a 4-5-1 formation, but my problem will be decided as to who I would put at left back.
My team is ;
Lloris
Walker Dawson Vertonghen Naughton
Parker
Lennon Dembele Bale
Dempsey
Defoe
There is no point in changing a defense that kept a clean sheet in their last game and I certainly think that they can cope with the likes of Utd.
In all honesty we should not pay any attention to who is playing for Utd as we must have faith in our team to compete and win. I feel happy that our defense can cope, however it is further up field where we have struggled. Against the last strong competitor (Everton) we lost 2-1 and it was Dempsey that had scored on this day and is at the moment our in form striker. However JD is not goal shy against Utd and I would not put it past him to score this weekend after a slight barren run. Coming back with a bang.
My prediction is like many of the pundits out there and I feel a draw is on the cards, 1-1 is my prediction as I expect RVP and JD to both score. Utd are in form and looking for blood after the 3-2 loss, but Tottenham are also in form especially with AVB winning last months manager award. Lets show them who we are under AVB and give the once great champions a run for their money.
COYS!!!
