Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Liberty Stadium to face Swansea City in the Premier League on Tuesday.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have won five of their last six Premier League games, and are heading into this match on the back of a moral boosting 5-2 win against Southampton.
Swansea City, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last week after earning a 2-1 victory away to Watford under new manager Carlos Carvalhal.
The Swans came from behind to score two late goals against Watford to seal all three points in their last match, and they should head into this game with full confidence.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson says that it was an “unbelievable result” for the Swans, and that it was a massive victory.
He predicts that having won the game against Watford, the Swans will adopt a defensive strategy which could go against them.
Merson adds that Swansea will be preparing themselves to get a draw against Spurs. However, Spurs are playing well at the moment, and he predicts a 3-0 cruise for the away side.
“How on earth did Swansea win against Watford? Unbelievable result. It was massive for Swansea and probably won’t help Tottenham,” said Merson to Sky Sports.
“If Swansea had lost to Watford they might have felt they needed to have more of a go against Spurs, but now they will sit back with 10 behind the ball and try to get away with a draw. If they can get four points from these two games that’s a great result.
“Tottenham are playing well at the moment and scoring goals. They have looked very good over the Christmas period.”
