Tottenham Hotspur

WDLDWL ⚖

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking for an improved result here after the 1-0 EFL Cup defeat in their last game at the hands of Manchester City.

In that match, Tottenham Hotspur had 38% possession and 2 shots on goal with 1 on target. For their opponents, Manchester City had 21 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Aymeric Laporte (82') was the scorer for Manchester City.

It’s not been often in recent games where Tottenham Hotspur have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Spurs have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 9 goals along the way.

Sheffield United

LLLLLW

Sheffield United will go into this clash after a 1-0 Premier League win versus Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous fixture.

In that game, Sheffield United had 31% possession and 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Sheffield United was David McGoldrick (19'). Brighton & Hove Albion got 17 shots at goal with 4 on target.

The strike force from Sheffield United have had real problems scoring goals over their previous 6 games, recording the poor return of just 2. In those matches, The Blades have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 13. That aside, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern might continue on here in this game.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Sheffield United:

• are winless against Tottenham Hotspur when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• are without an away win for the past 6 league matches.
