Tottenham – Southampton, FA Cup Prediction

The improvement in Tottenham’s game has been evident in recent games. They attracted Steven Bergwijn from PSV and the Dutchman scored a goal in his debut at the current champion, Man City. Earlier, they sold Eriksen to Inter as the Danish, and they did not want to continue his career in Tottenham, and that was clear long ago. Now Tottenham’s squad is more refined, and Le Celso is the main man for Mourinho in the midfield.

Southampton were extremely disappointed on Saturday. The reason is that they played quite well, even to the maximum of their ability against Liverpool, and eventually lost 0-4. They just couldn’t get their way through the first half, and that’s when you play at Anfield in those times. The Saints rely heavily on their press, but we’re not sure they’ll be fresh enough for this match.

 Expert view : Tottenham is starting to look more like a Mourinho team and he is already refining his style of play. There will certainly be more fluctuations by the end of the season, but progress is expected next season when the Portuguese will have all summer to sort out what he wants in the squad. In this match, we expect Tottenham to win, simply because they can only win the FA Cup as a trophy during this campaign, and Mourinho is most fond of trophies. Prediction – Tottenham to win at 1.66.

Tottenham have 7 wins in their last 9 home games
