Samuel Eto’o, Yuri Zhirkov and Moubarak Boussoufa are among the mass exodus of talent; and the results have unsurprisingly been disastrous. They sit bottom of the Russian Premier League and are yet to win a game all season.
In contrast, Spurs are on the way up. For the first time in a long time they are being touted as title contenders, and they have a squad big enough to challenge on all fronts.
A 3-0 win against Tromso in their Europa League opener and a 4-0 away win against Aston Villa in the Capital One Cup demonstrated how strong their reserve team is.
Jermaine Defoe scored four of the seven goals and he will hope to continue his form in front of goal in the hope he can budge Roberto Soldado from the chief striker position.
I am expecting a very comfortable night for Defoe and co and the -1 handicap looks a good bet at 13/10.
Thirty million pound signing Erik Lamela is a massive 14/1 to be the highest rated player. The Argentine is a terrific talent and will have to impress to stand a chance of being selected for Premier League matches.
It is worth covering Defoe at 7/1 as he has the potential to score a few goals, which would make him very hard to beat.
I also like Defoe to have the most shots at 7/1. Against CSKA Moscow last week Anzhi had 11 less shots than their opponent, and I expect Tottenham to repeat this feat, with Defoe at the forefront.
