In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen are joined by Richard Stafford from Auckland Spurs to preview Tottenham’s trip to Manchester United and discuss the wider news around the club.

With Spurs finally back after another long international break, we look at whether the pause has helped or hurt Roberto De Zerbi’s squad, the risks of players returning from international duty, and whether the likes of Maddison, Kulusevski, Udogie, Kudus, Van de Ven, Van Hecke, Fernandez, Bergvall, Gallagher, Tel, Marmoush and Solanke could shape the team at Old Trafford.

We also dig into Spurs’ poor start, whether there are still visible signs of De Zerbi’s coaching, the issue of confidence in the final third, and why the attacking players badly need to get the goal monkey off their backs.

A big part of the episode also focuses on the Manchester City charges, what they mean for the Premier League, how Chelsea changed the transfer market before them, whether Spurs and Manchester United are among the clubs who tried to operate properly, and what punishment would actually protect the integrity of English football.

Finally, we give our score predictions for Manchester United vs Spurs, discuss the upcoming Coventry game, and ask whether Spurs are already drifting into dangerous territory if results don’t improve soon.

Can Spurs show some fight at Old Trafford — or are we heading deeper into the Redknapp rescue zone?
