This is really a no ifs, ands or buts must win. Stop worrying about controlling the game and worry about winning it. They are solid defensively, have the ability to cause problems coming forward in attack and they are in good form

The last two games at Selhurst Park have been wins that were hard fought, chances were at a premium so we will have to make sure we take the chances we create. I would rather play Odegaard and Nwaneri, or failing that two up front than two holding midfielders, would be better to get into a lead and then look to hold onto what we have (which we are more than capable of)

Realistically we need to not only win but hope Spurs are capable of beating Liverpool. On one hand Spurs are a car crash defensively, on the other hand Liverpool have conceded 7 goals in their last 4 games.

Also would help if that awful Everton side continued their trend of beating Chelsea who have become quite the irritant.
