“We’re very confident going into the game” £30,000-a-week Tottenham star looks forward to FA Cup clash with Man United

Tottenham should feel confident ahead of their FA Cup semi-final clash with Manchester United given that they have been the better team throughout the season and are playing great football.

Spurs would have a bit of an advantage as they have played their home games at Wembley this season and Ben Davies believes we could do well against Jose Mourinho’s side.

Spurs have made it to the semifinal stage for the second straight year after defeating Swansea City 3-0 and our left-back is sure of a great showing from the team on 21st April.

Davies, who earns £30,000-a-week, was quoted by Sky Sports as saying:

“I was a bit late finding out the draw as I was on the flight when it was made.

“It will be a bit strange (in the away dressing room), but we’ve played there enough this year that it’s going to feel relatively like a home game.

“We played well against United earlier in the season (2-0 home win on January 31), so we’re very confident going into the game.”

A Chance For Glory

The season started with a lot of hope for us in terms of winning a trophy and now the FA Cup is the only chance we have. Mauricio Pochettino would be looking to pick up the trophy but first, we must look to go one better than we did last season.

It was Chelsea who knocked us out of the semifinals last time around and we need to do better than what we did last season if we are to make it to the final of the competition for the first time since 1991.

What would be in our favour, apart from playing at Wembley, is that our attack is doing much better than that of United’s. Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen have been firing on all cylinders and the pair would have to be at its best if we are to go past Mourinho’s men.

It really feels like this could be our year and with Chelsea most probably getting one over Southampton, a London derby in the final of the FA Cup would be the perfect way to celebrate a trophy before we move into our new stadium next season.
