Not a bad position for Spurs to be in, considering how inconsistent the club has been thus far.


For the Swans, the entire season has been pretty disappointing, and as they stand are just three points clear of the relegation zone having failed to win in their past seven league games. Worse, they've managed just 10 of a possible 30 points at Liberty Stadium, hardly the home form supporters expect. 
That's not good news against a Tottenham side that has seven wins and one draw in 10 away matches.
So can the Swans reverse their home form against a hot-and-cold Spurs side? Or will Tottenham draw closer to European placement with a win?

Quite a few players have been rumoured to leave White Hart Lane in January, and with a rather inflated side, Sherwood has acknowledged he is keen to let some go. His comments, via Kevin Palmer of ESPN:
You can only go with a certain amount of players and the pressure is on because it is a World Cup year for a lot of these players. They need to play and we can’t guarantee they are going to get maximum game time.
We are certainly not going to be leaving ourselves short and if no-one left, I wouldn’t be shedding any tears over that either. We understand that there is pressure with the World Cup and they need to play.
Sometimes, supply and demand is an issue. Especially with some of the guys I am still getting to know. I have a certain amount of trust in some players more than others, but the longer I am on the training ground, the more I get attached to the new players as well.
Per Palmer's report, Nacer Chadli, Etienne Capoue, Lewis Holtby could all be on the way out, if simply on loan. It also notes that Younes Kaboul and Jan Vertonghen will miss the match with Swansea to injury, but Andros Townsend and Sandro could both play.
