Michel keen on home win

Wed 29 October 2014, 11:01|Tottenham Hotspur

Michel Vorm is a big believer in home advantage as we get set to welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to White Hart Lane in the Capital One Cup tonight.

The Dutch goalkeeper made his Spurs debut in our third round victory over Nottingham Forest last month, as we came back from 1-0 down to win 3-1 in front of our own fans.

With Swansea City when they won the competition in 2013, the 31-year-old would love nothing more than to help us regain the trophy we last won in 2008 – and is relishing another tie on familiar soil.

“We saw against Forest that it is not easy but it is an advantage to play at home, especially against teams from outside the Premier League,” he said.

“There are some tough opponents in the cup but if you are at home you have a chance to win these games.

“Brighton are a good side but at home, we will hope to win, especially with the fans behind us.”
