'Arry made a serious blunder IMHO last week in playing Keane on the left, and with Palacios being jet-lagged (not an excuse, United were exceptional on the day), and booked so early, the fulcrum was stifled and the threat hitherto posed by Modric was nullified. But I think he is right to suggest that our best form of defence will be to attack, so it should be an exciting game. It is interesting to read that your midfield still isn't clicking, because I have always felt that technically it is the strongest in the league. So, if Palacios is back to his best, and your lot aren't up to scratch it should be a close match - with plenty of goals. I won't predict a Spurs win, that would be optimism rather than analysis, but I will go gor a 5 goal thriller, one way or another.
