Swansea City v Tottenham Hotspur: Our prediction
David John says: The chance has arrived for Tottenham to apply some more pressure on Chelsea with a very winnable away fixture at the Liberty Stadium.
While the leaders focus on Manchester City, Spurs could stretch their winning streak to five and are odds-on chances to complete the double this season over Swansea.
This is arguably an easier assignment than Saturday’s visit to Burnley and they passed that test with flying colours despite being closely matched by the Clarets until Eric Dier broke the deadlock in the second half.
They were well on top by the closing stages with Dele Alli coming close on a couple of occasions to stretching the margin of victory and certainly maintained their part of the bargain after Chelsea slipped up.
Swansea could not find a way through against a stubborn Middlesbrough defence on Sunday and don’t look quite the same team without Fernando Llorente to create problems in the opposition penalty box.
Jordan Ayew is Paul Clement’s latest solution in a forward role but was pretty comfortably marshalled and he I don’t expect him to get a great deal of change from Tottenham’s miserly back four.
They remain capable of some neat and tidy approach work involving Gylfi Sigurdsson, Tom Carroll (ex Spurs) and marauding wing-back Martin Olsson but Llorente’s continued absence to finish it all off is hurting Clement’s side, who have gone three games without a win.
Tottenham smashed five past this rival in December in what was the beginning of the end for Bob Bradley – they are stronger under the new manger but still not good enough to turn around such a big discrepancy.
Prediction: Swansea 0-2 Tottenham
Swansea City v Tottenham Hotspur: Manager quotes
Paul Clement (Swansea City)
On the battle between Chelsea and Tottenham: "It is different for Tottenham this year to last.
"They were closer last year and are further away now, but Chelsea will be looking over their shoulders.
"Tottenham have players performing to their full potential and Chelsea's result (against Palace) will have given them belief they can take the title race to the end.
"This is a game where they'll be thinking 'if we want to be champions we have to go to Swansea and win.'
"But it won't be easy for them coming here, because we really need the points as well."
On his approach to facing Tottenham: "I think we have to vary the game more.
"When you put in a cross for someone like Llorente he can cause havoc on his own.
"With Jordan you have to get more bodies in the box to help him, and we did not really do that in the first half against Middlesbrough.
"I think you can still cross the ball, but the type of cross needs to be different.
"You cannot loop them in from deep, they have to come in a lot harder, lower and earlier, and vary the angles in terms of cut-backs.
"Tactically we have had a lot of joy doing that, the challenge is to get support up and around Jordan."
On Tottenham's attacking approach: "It will possibly give us some chances.
"The Middlesbrough game was a cagey one and there was a lot of tension, but this will be different.
"It will be more open and we just have to be careful not to be too open, as we are playing against a really good offensive side.
"We have to be compact and solid, but hope the spaces open up for us to create some opportunities for themselves."
Mauricio Pochettino (Tottenham Hotspur)
On Tottenham's title chances: "We reduced the gap by three points but it's still a big gap, seven is a massive difference.
"Chelsea, two and a half years ago they won the Premier League and 80 per cent of the players have experience of how to manage the pressure.
"They can win or lose but it's not putting pressure or stress on them.
"After 29 games we are a real contender now for the top four and that's very good news for us.
"When we started the season, if you compared us with other top-six teams or teams that are below us, their investment and signings, massive investment and massive signings, but we keep our philosophy.
"I think today if we assess the season, it's fantastic and a very good season we're having."
