Three musts for Tottenham to achieve victory in their FA Cup semi-final
Tottenham Hotspur face off against Manchester United in a high-profile FA Cup semifinal on Saturday, undoubtedly marking their biggest match of the season.
Here are three things Spurs must do to secure their place in the May 19 final.
Get Eriksen involved
Christian Eriksen has perhaps been Spurs’ standout player this season, delivering consistently superb performances and chipping in with crucial goals.
In order for Spurs to gain the upper hand against the Red Devils, the Danish midfielder must control the game and be at the heart of every Spurs attack.
If Eriksen is at his unplayable best, he can combine effortlessly with the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, and break down the United backline with ease.
Keep Lukaku quiet
Romelu Lukaku presents United’s most potent goalscoring threat, and with 27 goals to his name this season, is enjoying a career-best year.
Lukaku came off the bench against Bournemouth on Wednesday and slotted home an assured finish, marking his for club and country.
The Belgian’s red-hot form will give Tottenham’s centre-backs cause for concern, but his Belgian international teammates will have to be more than up to the fight to nullify Lukaku.
Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld will know Lukaku’s strengths all too well and must be strong and resolute to deny the striker any whiff of goal.
Stop the feared United comeback
If Spurs end up taking the lead at Wembley, they must be vigilant of letting Manchester United back into the match.
The Red Devils have shown an incredible knack for getting back into matches; their 3-2 come-from-behind win at the Etihad is a prime example of that. United have also recently beat Crystal Palace after trailing 2-0, and clearly never consider themselves out of a match.
Tottenham must be mindful to not let their concentration slip when ahead, as Manchester United will surely make them pay.
