It’s a big game for…
Bruno Manga: The Cardiff defence collectively delivered yet another lacklustre defensive display at home to Burnley, yet arguably the most disturbing performance came from the Gabon international. The 30-year-old has been one of the better Cardiff defenders this season but both Burnley goals were created from his side of the field. Manager Neil Warnock will hope he responds to those mistakes with a commanding display against Spurs.
Weird /best stat…
27: Harry Kane has faced 27 different teams in the Premier League, and Cardiff are the only side among those that the England forward has not scored against.
Remember when…
Brazilian midfielder Paulinho has probably created more headlines since he left Tottenham in 2015 than he did during his time in North London, but his backheel finish from Christian Eriksen’s cross to seal a 1-0 victory in the last minute of added time against Cardiff was something to behold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_36_WyNxfiQ
Player to watch…
Erik Lamela: The 26-year-old has enjoyed a run of games for one of the very first times during his Tottenham career, and he is repaying the faith shown in him by Pochettino. The Argentinian whipped in a deflected strike in midweek to give Spurs hope, while he also grabbed the winner against Brighton a fortnight ago. With Spurs’ injuries mounting up, the former Roma winger’s role in the side could become paramount in the next few months.
