Fixture Focus - Spurs (28 Nov 2009)



Aston Villa FC vs Tottenham Hotspur







4th-placed Spurs would be travelling up to the West Midlands for an away game against 5th-placed Aston Villa. And with just 3 points separating us and them, this game would present an opportunity for us to climb up higher in the table.

After a 9-1 thumping victory over Wigan last weekend, Martin O'Neill, who was present at White Hart Lane for the game, may be sweating in his sweatshirt now. Highly likely the same Spurs team against Wigan last weekend would be up against Villa this Saturday. 5-goal hero Defoe would be keen in scoring more goals to add to his tally and becoming one of the top scorers this season.

Though inconsistent this season, O'Neill's boys are also no pushovers. The striking power of Agbonlahor and Carew would prove to be dangerous, plus their midfielders Milner and A. Young would be a handful. Lastly their keeper Friedel, if he is on form, will be a tough barrier to crack.

Statistically speaking, Spurs had never fared well at Villa Park in recent years. But fret not, for Aston Villa is the only other team this season to have beaten Chelsea, besides....Wigan, so.....I leave it dangling here.

COYS!!!!!
