Tottenham Hotspur will look to get back into the top-10 of the Premier League when they play host to an up and rising Sheffield United. Tottenham are 11th with 13 points, while Sheffield United are sixth with 16.
Spurs may have won handsomely in the Champions League midweek match; their Premier League form still leaves a lot to be desired. They are without a league win since the start of October, drawing and losing two each. However, the tight nature of the season meant that the two sides are separated by just three points. A heavy win can swap the positions of the sides as well. Home fans will hope that Spurs can recreate their form in this match – Tottenham have won three and drawn one of their five Premier League home matches this season. Son Heung-Min’s red-card from Everton’s match has been rescinded and four in the Champions Tottenham will hope to get back to winning ways.
They will be up against a Sheffield side that has lost just one away league match in 2019. In the Premier League, they are unbeaten away from home this season – winning once and drawing four. Overall, Sheffield are unbeaten in four matches coming into this match. That includes two wins and two draws, with both the draws coming on the road. It is Sheffield’s defence that stands out this season. With just eight goals conceded, the visitors have the joint-best defensive record in the Premier League. However, they were able to score only 12 goals this season, which is the worst among all the top-eight sides.
Tottenham Hotspur got a breather in the midweek win over Red Star Belgrade. However, their Premier League form is still dicey and that means they are under pressure for this fixture. Sheffield United have been steady on their travels this league season and should fancy their chances of picking up at least a point.
