The Dugout Discussion – Spurs versus United

Our feast of festive football rolls on this afternoon as Fantasy managers are treated to another nine matches. First up, Spurs take on United at White Hart Lane in a noon kick-off as Mauricio Pochettino’s side look to maintain their recent form and register a fourth successive league win.

There’s no question that Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane are the men in form for the home side. Both found the net once again on Friday in a 2-1 triumph at Leicester – the duo have each returned four goals and two assists in the last seven matches and face a defence with a single away clean sheet (at Burnley in Gameweek 3) this season.

United have their own form players, though. Despite being shifted to central midfield, Wayne Rooney has racked up five goals and two assists in his last six appearances, mirroring the output of Robin van Persie. With Juan Mata and Radamel Falcao also in fine fettle, the Red Devils still have plenty of strong options in the final third despite the absence of Angel di Maria, who has failed to recover from a pelvic injury.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          Luis will play too often for my liking.
          even if it is only every third or fourth game, it would be too much.

      have same defence.
      will transfer Azpi out, get Terry in asap (even if it will be his turn to get benched, I'd rather have JT for rest of season).
      Keep Baines till WC, as only guaranteed starter.
