  3. Licence... to be friends

    Middlesbrough v Tottenham (15:00 BST)

    Boro boss Aitor Karanka revealed both he and his Spurs "Moz Poch*" counterpart - who both coached in Spain at the same time (Karanka was an assistant though) - did their 'badges' together. Lovely.

    "We did the licence course together and we have a really good relationship," said the Spaniard.

    "But after the referee blows the whistle, we are not friends, for sure - just for 90 minutes."

    *It's unlikely he's ever been called that

    After a promising start to their Premier League return, Boro come into this game on the back of two successive league defeats.

    The task facing them is a resurgent/emerging/buoyant Spurs - after a shocking one win in their first three -  who are one of three unbeaten teams in the top flight. It's a Tottenham without the injured Harry Kane too.
