Opposition view | Paul Heckingbottom wants Blades 'to play without fear'

Paul Heckingbottom says he's enjoyed watching Spurs under Ange Postecoglou, but believes his side can come and win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday (3pm).

The Blades picked up their first point of the campaign against Everton last time out, but that doesn't really tell the full story - late goals have cost them dearly in 2-1 losses against Manchester City (Rodri, 88th minute) and Forest (Chris Wood, 89) and they also lost by the only goal against Palace on opening weekend.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Heckingbottom said: "I want us to play without fear and have a go. They will be favourites, rightly so, but I believe in this group of players, I believe we can go there and win, definitely.

"I have enjoyed watching them at the start of the season, it's been good, and you only understand what they are trying to do when you are watching them to play against them. It's been interesting having a good look at what they are doing.

"They have undoubted threats, we are going to see that. We can't go there hoping they are just going to under perform, we have to go there expecting them show that quality, show their threats. We know it's going to be tough in that respect but I'd like to think we can cause them problems as well."
