Fixture Focus - Spurs (21 January 2009)

  Burnley vs Spurs (Carling Cup Semi-Final, 2nd Leg)

Spurs comfortably won the 1st leg at the Lane 4-1.  So barring a colossal break down, we should make it through to Wembley if we keep the ball in front of us for 90 minutes.

Harry does have injuries to several players including first choice goalkeeper Gomes.  Early team news from Spurs indicate that Ben Alnwick will get his first start in goal.

Burnley are missing 2 key players but will nevertheless be throwing themselves forward in search of goals.  All Spurs has to do is to absorb the pressure and counter quickly via the pace of Bentley and O'hara on the wings and I have to believe we will catch Burnley flat-footed.

COYS!!!

Spurs will have a tough time this whole week as they will be travelling to Burnley, and thence to Manchester for the 2 cup games, whereas the Red Devils are staying put at their home ground throughout.
