It will be tough, i see spurs as the team that will finish second behind City without actually being in the title race as City are streets ahead of everyone.Very, very little hope here and a second consecutive defeat, albeit against two good teams, but especially if it's anything like the capitulation last season, would totally sour the recent good feeling about the team. Would be 10 points from 30, a point per game and relegation form if continued over the season.
Now I don't expect us to go down like I did last season, but it's just grim year on year following this team and no fun at all. The squad we have now is hardly going to improve next season: Coady, Tarkowski, Gueye will all be past their peak soon enough, and we still haven't got a reliable striker in the entire squad.
And please don't tell me we've got the super exciting development of starboy Gordon to look forward to because he's crap.
Sad really that our highlight this season is not us, but us watching Liverpool severely underperform.
12th-15th place finish and no doubt we'll watch Liverpool spawn the Europa League or something.
We need Gray to be on his game today as he will be the only player that can get us up the pitch with his pace.
I don't see us creating much from open play so set pieces will be key, therefore i would play McNeil especially if he is going to start with DCL.
I don't see Coleman keeping Son quiet who has come back to form.
We have to score first to get anything out of the game IMO
