Defending against Bale, dictating the game, and a new hoover - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Steve Crossman, Stephen Warnock and Jim White of The Telegraph discuss Tottenham's 'transformative' front three ahead of Gareth Bale's second debut at the club. We talk the evolution of Harry Kane's game and the similarities Spurs' attack could have with Liverpool's. Aaron Cresswell will be one of the West Ham defenders tasked with keeping them out - we hear from him on the versatility required to play full-back, wing-back, and his current position on the left of a back three. We also chat to Palace's James McArthur on going 'under the radar' his entire career, what makes a world class defensive midfielder and his definition of 'controlling' the game. Plus, chat about vacuums, washing, and over-sized headphones.
