EPL: Swansea v Tottenham preview
Swansea v Tottenham preview
Tottenham could be without Harry Kane as the striker attempts to shake off a cold before the trip to Swansea on Tuesday.
Kane missed training on Friday but has continued to be assessed, with boss Mauricio Pochettino hopeful he could be ready for the Liberty Stadium encounter, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
"He's cold, like me," said Pochettino. "He's at home, the doctor was at his house. Will he be fit to face Swansea? We'll see. I don't know if he'll be available or not. We'll see how he reacts."
New Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal saw his side come from a goal down with four minutes remaining to snatch a dramatic 2-1 win at Watford.
The Swans were trailing to Andre Carrillo's 11th-minute header but Jordan Ayew grabbed the equaliser before substitute Luciano Narsingh sparked wild celebrations with a last-gasp winner.
And Ayew feels Swansea's new-found confidence under Carvalhal can help them avoid relegation this season.
"I think this win is a step forward," Ayew told the club's official website. "Now we have to keep going and push to get more results.
"Football is all about confidence. We know we can do better things with confidence. But, also, if you don't work hard then you get punished. But at Watford we worked very hard and got our rewards.
"The new manager has only been here for two days, but he has had a positive impact. His ideas are clear and direct. He wants us to run more in the game and be more aggressive with our play. We delivered that and deserved the win."
Tammy Abraham is a doubt for Swansea's home meeting with Tottenham on Tuesday.
The striker has been struggling with a stomach injury and went off early in the second half against Watford on Saturday.
Wilfried Bony could replace Abraham if he can shake off a hamstring problem. Ki Sung-yueng (calf) and Kyle Bartley (knee ligaments) are likely to miss out again.
Spurs midfielder Victor Wanyama could make his first appearance since August as he steps up his return after long-term knee trouble.
