Yes he played Saturday.

I'm hoping we get a nasty 8pm atmosphere which rattles them and gives us a chance to nick an ugly 1-0 win. They're not in the best of form right now so we certainly shouldn't be in awe of them as some of the previous posts seem to be, but we'll definitely need something out the ordinary to beat them

Without Ndiaye, KDH, Grealish, Gana it’s a 90 min backs to the wall 0-0

Wasn't aware of that. Still, I can't see us opening them up too often especially with the players we will have out so we might have to capitalise on any set pieces.

Would have been anyway tbf. Or an attempt at such.

Get through this and the next five are winnable if we get KDH and Grealish back, yellow for Garner on Saturday and he’s out too for the Burnley game.

1-0

Alcaraz in the 96th minute

I know this isn’t the prediction thread, but I’m backing my guy after what I said in the Alcaraz thread.

Such a rebel, can’t wait to see what you post in the prediction thread

Just hoping we turn up for this and at least make a game of it.

The other ''big'' games so far under the lights here have fizzled out into nothing by half time.

Getting tonked… there, I said it.

These are so negative that I could see us getting a backs to the wall 0-0, not convinced we'll win enough individual battles though tbh.

Myko Vs Saka is giving me palpitations just thinking about it.

Have to try not to concede from set pieces against these they are good at them we haven’t been great at defending them this season

Probably just a shit pun or something of equal or lesser value.

Lots of tickets still available on resale if anyone is still interested. 2s, 3s, 4s and even one lot of 5 seats together.

I think about how comprehensively Spurs bullied us on set plays and it doesn’t give me much confidence here regardless of their recent form.

Hopefully we get some good injury updates and have a plan for coping with dead ball situations.
