Cardiff vs Tottenham
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium
Date: Tuesday 1 January, 2019
Kick-off time: 5:30pm GMT
Tottenham will be desperate to bounce back from their shock defeat to Wolves when they take on Cardiff on New Year’s Day.
Harry Kane gave his side the lead on Saturday with a superb strike before Mauricio Pochettino’s side conceded three times in 18 minutes to throw away three points.
Spurs must start again in their attempts to cut the gap between themselves and Premier League leaders Liverpool, which is back to nine points.
Team news and predicted line-ups
Spurs remain without Eric Dier, Jan Vertonghen, Mousa Dembele, Victor Wanyama while Erik Lamela is also expected to be unavailable due to a recent calf problem.
Cardiff meanwhile remain without Kenneth Zohore, Jazz Richards and Danny Ward.
Score prediction: Cardiff 1-2 Tottenham
With Cardiff flying after their victory away to Leicester, it is an awkward fixture for Spurs to begin the New Year with.
Injuries ensure there isn't much room for rotation in the squad which could play into Neil Warnock's hands but Spurs should have enough firepower to ensure they walk away with three points.
