Kemy Agustien (thigh) is unlikely to play, while Neil Taylor is continuing
to make good progress on his return from a broken and dislocated
ankle.Watch Swansea V Tottenham Live, Watch Swansea V Tottenham Live Stream, Watch Swansea V Tottenham Free Live Stream, Watch Swansea V Tottenham Online, Watch Swansea V Tottenham Online Free, Swansea V Tottenham Live, Swansea V Tottenham live stream

Tottenham's Gareth Bale is fit despite suffering from illness with
Wales.
Aaron Lennon (hamstring and groin) and defender Michael Dawson
(hamstring) have recovered from their injuries and are likely to start.
MATCH PREVIEW
The international break might just have come at exactly the right time
for Tottenham Hotspur and Andre Villas-Boas. They looked physically and
mentally drained as they spluttered to a 1-0 loss against Fulham at
White Hart lane last time out.
It was their third defeat in a row and while Emmanuel Adebayor's away
goal in Milan means they can still entertain hopes of Europa League
success, they cannot afford many more slip-ups if they're to secure a
top-four finish.

The international break will have allowed the manager to reassess the situation and bring fresh energy to the run-in. Seven weeks that will make or break their season; seven weeks that could do the same to his reputation in the English game. He'll have Aaron Lennon back, while Gareth Bale, Jermain Defoe, Clint Dempsey and Gylfi Sigurdsson all scored for their countries in World Cup qualifiers and should return with a spring in their step. If each and every game from now on will be like a cup final for Tottenham, the opposite might be said of Swansea City. Having won their actual cup final against Bradford and sitting comfortably in ninth position in the Premier League, their biggest challenge is to avoid coasting. A glance at their recent results suggests the hunger may have waned a little: it's 1 win, 2 goals, and 3 points from their last 4 games. It's already been a magnificent debut season for Michael Laudrup and he'll be determined not to let it fizzle out. Securing a top-10 finish, their best in over 30 years, must be the target. With Everton, Manchester City and Chelsea coming next on Tottenham's fixture list, this might appear to be the most appealing of Spurs' upcoming fixtures, but many thought that about the Fulham game - and look what happened there! When on song, few sides go through the gears as impressively as Swansea so I do hope Villas-Boas enjoyed his break.
