Tottenham Hotspur vs Stoke City Preview and Line Up Prediction: Tottenham to

The Sky Sports pundit has been previewing the weekend’s action, include Tottenham Hotspur against Stoke City.

Spurs haven’t played at White Hart Lane since last campaign and are eagerly anticipating the visit of Stoke City on Saturday according to Mason.

Jan Vertonghen has urged Spurs to take Stoke seriously and ensure they are not embarrassed again after last season’s defeats against the Potters. Nacer Chadli ended up scoring one late on – just before Kyle Naughton chipped in his customary red card – but it wasn’t enough to earn anything from the match. We might see some contributions from new signings and some of Spurs’ academy graduates. “I like him and think he’s a good manager but there’s a hell of a lot of pressure on Harry Kane this season”.

Two other Stoke forwards will definitely not feature in Peter Odemwingie (hamstring) and Bojan Krkic, who is still not quite ready to make his first-team return after his long-term knee injury, while skipper Ryan Shawcross faces between two and three months on the sidelines following back surgery.

Stoke City head into Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Tottenham buoyed by the arrival of record £12 million signing Xherdan Shaqiri.

Lloris missed the season opener against United, with Michel Vorm deputising ably in his place, but Pochettino has now said that he has a completely fit squad to pick from ahead of Saturday’s match at White Hart Lane.

“We put the effort in and restricted them to a few chances”.

Now fully fit and having trained normally this week, Tottenham supporters are hoping for more heroics this term as well. Then we’ll delve deeper into what Hughes’ seems to envision for his squad, and how his work is still far from complete.
