Ishaan writes: 'Tottenham have played well at home recently, they're passing the ball well - Aaron Lennon and Mousa Dembele are proving as sufficient threats in the centre - enough to cover for the absence of Gareth Bale. On the other hand, Michael Laudrup's Swansea haven't failed to impress this season - and Michu is a great threat when he is on goal, the Tottenham back four must keep all eyes on him. Predicting a 2-1 home win for Spurs here, it's essential for a good conclusion into Christmas.'
