Saturday, at 12:30, Tottenham plays home against Huddersfield in the 34th Premier League. Hosts fight for qualification in the upcoming UCL edition, while guests are already relegated after a disastrous season.
For Spurs is a huge chance to pick up important points in the Top 4 fight, after Mauricio Pochettino’s team lost 4 of the previous 6 stages of the championship. Argentinean students returned to the Champions League, where Tottenham defeated Manchester City on their own, score 1-0, after a tough tactical performance. The mid-week game was the first quarter of the season’s quarterfinals. But the success of the “citizens” was paid dearly by Londoners, who will not have a weekend on Harry Kane score, injured.
Huddersfield comes after 10 defeats in the last 11 stages and Jan Siewert’s team is already making experiments for the forthcoming Championship season. The previous round, when Tottenham defeated Crystal Palace (2-0), Huddersfield succumbed to Leicester’s landing, 1-4. Tottenham is 4th in the Premier League (60-34 Golaveraj) and has two goalless wins won in the two games played on the new arena in London.
Huddersfield is the last to be ranked in England and managed only 3 wins in 33 stages (19-63 golaver). With a vulnerable defensive, Huddersfield seems to be the sure victim in front of Eriksen, Son and Moura, the most important attacking people of their favorites. The tour was 2-0 for Spurs (“double” Kane) and the Londoners have won all three straight duels to date. The difference in value should come out again.
Huddersfield has recently succumbed to Leicester, Crystal Palace (0-2), West Ham (3-4), Bournemouth (0-2) and Brighton (0-1), and Tottenham will dominate authoritarian possession. Even though he can not rely on Aurier, Dier, Kane and Lamela, Pochettino manager should be able to align a “11” very competitive in front of a band that will appear on two lines with hope for a draw. And guests have significant batch problems, especially in the offensive compartment, which raises Spurs’ chances to win.

Tottenham (3-4-1-2): Lloris – Alderweireld, D. Sanchez, Vertonghen – Trippier, Sissoko, Alli, Rose – Eriksen – Son, Kane
