Fixture Focus - Spurs (11 April 2009)

Spurs vs West Ham

Aside from losing our concentration last week near the end of the Blackburn match, Spurs have had a tremendous league run recently that have seen us cementing our spot in mid table.  West Ham are currently in 7th position and looking like strong candidates for European football next season.  So with this in mind, I am expecting an open game for both teams to play flowing football.

Defoe is out for another week which means the Hammers will have to content with the likes of Keane and Pavlyuchenko in the front.  We will miss the services of Palacios in the midfield as his presence did give our midfield a bit of steel in recent games (and hence our solid string of results that included wins against Villa and Chelsea).  This worries me a tad as the Hammers do have spirited midfielders that join in the attack like Mark Noble.

Yet with Gomes in great form lately, I will look forward to a home win for us tonight.

COYS!!!
