What They're Saying
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (via Sky Sports): "I am happy with him [Roberto Soldado]. I am the same as before. All players are in my plans and [there is not] any news. I expect all players to be here because we have ahead a lot of games. We are still in four competitions, and I think that we need a strong squad to take on all games that we have in the future."
Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough (via the Daily Star): "If Harry Kane is on song, Christian Eriksen and people like that, they have the quality to hurt any team in Europe. But we don't fear it. We are aware of how good they are, but we don't go into too much detail. Otherwise, we would shaking before we even get onto the pitch."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Soldado failed to acclimate to life in the Premier League since joining from Valencia, but will have an additional opportunity to impress on Wednesday. In 19 appearances across all competitions, the 29-year-old has just three goals and an assist.
