MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
@Mark_Scott_: Cardiff will certainly have a spring in their step after snatching a first away victory of the season late on at Leicester and they've also won three of their last four at home.
However, the last couple of visits they've had from one of the big guns have both ended in heavy defeats.
The festive schedule was always going to be a challenge for Tottenham physically, but this game will also be a real test of character following the loss to Wolves and ensuing suggestions that Spurs couldn't handle the pressure of being talked about as title contenders.
VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock: "It's a massive challenge, they've got so many quality players. One bad result and it's a catastrophe in the press, but it's an exciting club with the prospect of a new stadium and the number of quality English lads is great for us.
"I admire [Mauricio] Pochettino and his staff."
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "It's going to be tough, Cardiff are a tough team to play against.
"We need to move on [after the Wolves defeat] and try to be ready to compete because we're going to need big energy to play. We need to be prepared for a big battle and we're looking forward to it."
