Three impressive wins in three games has taken Tottenham to the top of the pile and there will be an air of expectation that Harry Redknapp’s side should easily put the visitors to the sword but that may be a dangerous assumption.
Alex McLeish’s side have had a solid start to the season and have only conceded once so far this season so this may not be quite the cake walk people expect.
My Prediction: All that being said I expect the confidence spreading through White Hart Lane will be enough to secure a 2-0 win for the home side.
