Hi all. Hope everybody is okay? Two more games left, two games to assure that we get European football (or I should say Europa football… good old Thursday night stocking filler). It would also help if Wolves can trip up at either Palace or Chelsea… or both. After our last two games have we now turned the corner? Are we starting to get our act together?
On top of that, there is the news that we can return to our stadium on the 1st October… what capacity will probably be decided in the next couple of weeks? In my blog below, I preview the game on Sunday. A big decision for that day; such as wine or beer? There is no rest for the wicked if you are a Spurs supporters. Best Regards, Glenn Thank you.
Extracts from my blog:
We’ve got to pull out all the stops in the next couple of games. Spurs v Leicester City.
We seem to have found a settled side in the nick of time and have started to play a better, although it is too late for us to make the Champions League.
I also have this feeling that Leicester are going to miss out on a Champions League place. Granted Leicester were more like their old selves against Sheffield United on Thursday, but they are not consistent enough.
What is in the Foxes’ favour is that they know they will have a chance of making the Champions League places when they host Manchester United on the final day of this extended season.
We will be ensured seventh place at least if we win our final two games. But we need Wolves to drop points if we do not want to worry about who wins the FA Cup Final.
Our last two games; Leicester (h, 19 July), Crystal Palace (a, 26 July)
Wolves next two games are Crystal Palace (h, 20 July), Chelsea (a, 26 July.
TEAM NEWS
Dele Alli will miss his fifth match with a hamstring injury and may not feature again this season. Lucas Moura is in doubt after picking up an injury against Newcastle.
As for Leicester City, well, they continue their quest of Champions League football without James Maddison, Ben Chilwell and Christian Fuchs, who are all ruled out for the rest of the season. Caglar Soyuncu is suspended, while Marc Albrighton is an injury doubt.
These injuries to Leicester doesn’t mean they are any less dangerous. They can still fight like a wounded animal caught in the corner… and they are not called Foxes for nothing. We, on the other hand, have spurs on our cockerel, which can give a nasty gash when threatened.
It looks like we have started getting our act together at the right moment in time.
