Eager to improve their current seat in English Premier League standings, Swansea City might have to earn it in a hard way as this weekend Michael Laudrup's men are gearing up for a difficult battle against Tottenham Hotspur. The home side are really eager to pick up maximum points after failing to grab any from their latest two league fixtures, so this Sunday, January 19, Laudrup's men won't be settling for anything other that three points.
However, Spurs themselves are currently experiencing positive period in the league under Tim Sherwood's reign and they will be keen on keeping that positive road going as only by doing it they can maintain that challenge for top four spot by the end of this Premier League season. Sherwood should not take things lightly though this weekend as Swansea are one tricky opponent, which can really trouble the Lilywhites.
Spurs are still keeping their positive league form going strong as they bagged maximum three points from that weekend tie with Emmanuel Adebayor's effort on 35 minutes. That one goal lead didn't stop the away team from pushing forward as they eventually doubling their advantage thanks to an own goal from Chico on 53 minutes and on 71 minutes, they sealed all three points from that match with another effort coming from Adebayor. Meanwhile, Swansea themselves only managed to pull one goal back through Wilfried Bony on 78 minutes.
