Tottenham face Hull City this evening.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bounce back from a weekend defeat to Manchester United by beating Hull City this evening.
Hull come into the game in wretched form, having gained just six points since the second week of the season.
They are in the relegation zone and it would be a real shock if Mike Phelan’s side even hold Spurs to a draw, let alone win.
Tottenham though have lost two of their last three league games after an unbeaten start, with the one inbetween a 5-0 home win over Swansea. Fans will be hoping for a repeat of that.
They will have to do without key man Mousa Dembele, who is out injured.
Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League table, and have a chance to close the gap on rivals Arsenal, who lost last night at Everton.
A win would move Spurs within four points of the Gunners, who enter the evening in second place.
