The month of March didn’t open with a bang for Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur side given the hugely disappointing FA Cup defeat to Middlesbrough, so few thought we’d see an almost classic performance as we welcomed Everton to White Hart Lane on Monday for a thoroughly enjoyable 5-0 spanking.
I don’t think anyone will be expecting a second performance of that clinical quality as we make the trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on Saturday, but coming back with all three points certainly isn’t out of the equation as they aren’t the side they used to be – despite all the help they continue to get from the Video Assistant Referee shambles.
The only fresh injury issue we have is Ryan Sessegnon’s muscular problem that saw him substituted at the half time break back on Monday and we can probably expect Japhet Tanganga and Oliver Skipp to still be out for this one, but hopefully there won’t be any further unexpected issues as a positive result here would really lift spirits further.
