The expectations for the season isn’t going down too well for Middlesbrough this season, who currently sit eighth on the EFL Championship table with 52 points after 33 matches.

Tottenham Hotspur, a rejuvenated side inspired by Antonio Conte’s tactics. Spurs handed Manchester City a shock defeat and a slight title blow at the Etihad Stadium a week ago.

Antonio Conte’s men are fighting for a European place after last season’s disappointment saw them finish in the newly created UEFA Europa Conference League. The appointment of the Italian was expected to usher in a new era at the club.

However, Spurs have managed to win critical fixtures in the Premier League. The club won two and lost three of their last five Premier League matches.

The match could be an evenly contested affair based on the current form of the two sides. Middlesbrough is fighting for promotion places while Spurs struggle to the top.

Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane have scored three goals in the Emirates FA Cup this season.

Antonio Conte would be leaning on the brilliance of Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son, Dejan Kulusevski and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.

Middlesbrough, Paddy McNair has been inspiring, and he could be the player to stop Tottenham Hotspur attacking threat.

Score Prediction: 0-1
