Falling apart. Tottenham entered their last match hosting a poor Stoke City side, sure to keep their winning streak going after a comeback defeat of Aston Villa the week before. But Spurs capitulated, looking poor in a 2-1 loss to the Potters. The team has been weakened by its defense, as the team conceded two early goals and Kyle Naughton had a red card in the midst of a Spurs comeback. Can Tottenham bounce back on the road?
In the way today is Hull City, sitting 15th in the table, just 3 points behind Spurs. The Tigers have been boosted by a bevy of former Spurs talent, as Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone, and Jake Livermore are all likely to face off against their former club. The team boasts dynamic scoring threats, as Nikica Jelavic, Mohamed Diame, and Abel Hernandez have scored more than 3 goals a piece. However, Hull's three man defense has been capitalized on, as James Chester, Paul McShane, and Curtis Davies look to keep Tottenham off the score sheet. Can Hull post a crucial home win against a tough foe?
