3) Defensive Cover
A final aspect of the game that could be extremely vital for the showdown at Bramall Lane is the defensive cover provided by the middle of the park. With the inevitable pressure that the Blades will put on Spurs, Dembélé and Stambouli could be key to ensuring we keep the ball allowing us to kill out the game. This offers cover that he will provide for the two centre backs, especially Fazio, with his lack of pace.
If the midfield is energetic and is aggressive then it’ll allow us to break down the play quicker and ultimately try to get a positive result on Wednesday.
