Really tough game tomorrow but maybe we need that because we have been poor against relegation fodder. Hopefully Matip is back to shore up the defence. City already 6 points ahead so we need to start winning again if we have any ambition of retaining our title otherwise they will run away with it as I predicted. We have to win by any means necessary.

We need to forget about other teams and concentrate on our own performance/results, the rest will follow.

City are favourites for the title, they have the strongest squad, but are capable of dropping points as we have seen already, last nights results show how teams will drop points unexpectedly.

I fancy us tonight, we need to keep it tight, I would like us to play Milner, he got stuck in at the weekend against Utd, he gives extra cover to the defence, especially TAA who has been struggling recently, my team would be:

-------- Alisson

TAA Fab Matip Robertson


Milner Henderson Wij


Salah Firmino Mane


I presume Henderson is available? If not I would play Thiago to replace him, otherwise I would keep Thiago on the bench to replace Milner when required, Spurs will be tiring then also, so Thiago will be able to open them up.

1-2 win for us.

Milner is a must!!! it's no coincidence that leaders on the field have been in short supply and mirrors our bad time of things.

I would play Thiago also, however would have him further back just in front of our defence. One thing noticeable since he came back from injury is how further forward he has played with less time on the ball and opposing teams being able to easily cut out his supply.

Alisson

TAA Fabinho Matip Robbo


Thiago

Milner Wij

Bobby

Salah Mane

I'd go with the above and have Bobby in the hole supporting the midfield and attack. Tell Salah and Mane to stick to the wings like glue, opening up what Mou is likely to have for us in playing it narrow as possible against us. I'd have Wij bombing forward alongside Bobby giving the likes of Thiago, TAA and Robbo more options to aim for with their crossing and passing.

Didn't realize Hendo was fit to play, if so then absolutely Hendo plays. I'd consider playing Hendo instead of Bobby then and have both Milly and Hendo's leadership on the field at same time.

Alisson

TAA Fab Matip Robbo

Thiago

Milner Hendo

Wij

Salah Mane

Have Wij in the hole supporting midfield and attack. Milner and Hendo will keep us solid in middle, aiding Thiago's supply/ability to pick out passes.
