Tottenham Hotspur vs AC Milan Prediction

Tottenham Hotspur have not impressed this season with their performances, and the future of Antonio Conte at the club hangs in the balance. Conte is recovering in Italy after he underwent surgery, and in his absence, assistant manager Cristian Stellini has performed admirably.

However, Tottenham Hotspur do not look like a Conte side, and there have been reports that the club are looking for options. Nottingham Forest's Steve Cooper and Eintracht Frankfurt's Oliver Glasner have been linked with the managerial position, and it has also been suggested that Conte could return to Italy with Juventus a possible destination.

“Nothing at all, that's nonsense. That's not in our thoughts at all. We extended Choupo. I hope he keeps scoring goals and then… we'll see”, told Sky DE #THFC https://t.co/AxWeSuh00e

AC Milan, too, are seemingly at a crossroads. Having won the Serie A last season, they find themselves fourth in the league this time around, and manager Stefano Pioli is under pressure.

"We absolutely want to keep Giroud and Leão. We're working to reach an agreement as soon as possible". https://t.co/YfTxsrqWRk

The club does have some incredibly talented footballers - Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan spring to mind. Leao, in particular, looks like a superstar in the making and has been linked heavily with Chelsea and Liverpool.

AC Milan's one-goal cushion might not be enough. Tottenham Hotspur to win here.
