Tottenham Hotspur head to Ipswich Town on Saturday in a bid to make amends for their defeat to the Blues back in November.

Spurs’ season continues to deliver rollercoaster-like ups and downs, with things currently up thanks to their win against Manchester United.

Tottenham have managed to pull off some great results against top teams, only to then lose against teams much lower than them in the table.

Ipswich are one such team, having been in relegation trouble all season after promotion last year, yet their first win of the campaign was at Tottenham.

Blues defender Jacob Greaves has now given his verdict on Tottenham, their players, and their stadium.

Jacob Greaves hails ‘unbelievable’ Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Greaves began by talking about how Ipswich’s win over Spurs in November was just the boost they needed to kickstart their season.

He admits he was disappointed to miss out on the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium because it’s an “unbelievable” ground.

“It was incredible, exactly what we needed,” Greaves told the East Anglian Daily Times.

“Especially to go away to Spurs, who were flying at the time, and to win there, was a real statement that we could go and compete and win games against anybody.

“I was disappointed I didn’t get to play at their stadium, being injured, because it’s an unbelievable stadium. But it gave us a massive boost for the rest of the season.”

Greaves then spoke about Tottenham’s players, acknowledging that their injury crisis has been “catastrophic” but that it’s now easing.

He also singled Son Heung-min, Mathys Tel, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison as “unbelievable threats” on their day.

“We’ve done our work on them throughout the week,” he stressed.

“When you look at them in the table, you’d think that they’re a team that’s down there, but they’ve obviously had their injury struggles this season, which has been unfortunate for them.

“A lot of teams go through that, but their’s has been kind of catastrophic.

“But they’ve got a lot of players back and you look at the threats they’ve got – Son, Tel, Kulusevski, Maddison as well – they’re all unbelievable threats on their day.

“So we know that we need to be switched on. At any moment they can do something out of the ordinary. We’ve got to be switched on at all times.”
