Fixture Focus – Spurs (Carling Cup Quarter-Finals, 1 Dec 2009)

manu Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur   

Cup runs for Spurs are never easy and peppered with Premier League clubs along the way.  And now we face high flying Manchester United.

The last time these 2 clubs met in the Carling Cup competition was for last season finals in which Spurs lost on penalties.  This is a ripe time for revenge BUT the word around the Lane is that league position takes precedence over cup competitions now.  So it is anyone’s guess whether Harry will rest the key first team players.

Fergie has been rumored to be fielding the same side that lost to Besiktas last week in the Champions League so that his first team gets some needed rest.  I believe that Michael Owen may be used up front to bring some veteran experience on the field.

Regardless, I just want a good game and look for Spurs to get a result at a very tough place to play. 

COYS!
