Swansea City vs Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League 2015/16: Where to watch, preview, betting odds and possible XI
Tottenham Hotspur take on Swansea City in a weekend Premier League clash at the Liberty Stadium on 4 October.
Where to watch
Kick-off is set for 4pm BST. Catch the highlights of the match on Match of the Day 2 on BBC One and BBC One HD at 10:30pm BST.
Overview
Swansea enjoyed a great start to the league campaign, with a 2-2 draw against Chelsea. They also managed to beat Manchester United 2-1 at home in September. Since their win over Louis van Gaal's side, they have failed to seal a victory in all competitions. The worrying factor for Swansea would be their goal-scoring form as they have scored only once in the last four matches. Garry Monk will be hoping his side can bounce back when they face the north London club on Sunday.
Tottenham come into the fixture after a 1-1 draw in the Europa League clash against AS Monaco. In the last league fixture, Mauricio Pochettino saw his side come from behind to seal a 4-1 victory over Manchester City at White Hart Lane. The fixture against City saw star striker Harry Kane score his first league goal of the season. The former Southampton manager will be hoping his side can seal another victory over the Welsh club during their trip to Wales.
What Managers Say
Garry Monk: "Everyone's positions are under threat because we have good competition and players know what can happen if they don't perform. You have to fight every single day and every single game for the shirt. It's not about a lack of effort or commitment, but we didn't get ourselves right and do the things we're good at."
Mauricio Pochettino: "You know he [Erik Lamela] has the potential, but the last two seasons were difficult for him. It is good for him and good for us that he is starting to show his real talent and his real quality."
