The teasing didn't last long as it soon emerged that Cesc Fabregas, not Neville, would be on analysis duty for Spurs' trip to the Britannia.
The Chelsea player, and former Arsenal midfielder, was not exactly shy as he outright claimed "I don't want Spurs to win it," before also giving a candid insight into Jose Mourinho's departure from Stamford Bridge before Christmas.
