Fixture Focus - Spurs (28 Feb 10)


Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton FC







Spurs will be hosting the Toffees, who were high from their successive defeats of both Chelsea and Manchester United in the league, in this Sunday's early kick-off. Our boys are on a high, too, after the 4-0 victory over Bolton to secure a place in the FA Cup quarter finals.

With 11 games remaining, any slip-up at this stage would be detrimental to our aim for the coveted 4th spot in the league, especially so with other 4th spot wannabes Manchester City and Aston Villa, as well as the "original top 4 team" Liverpool, come chasing up the table.

However, statistics wise, for the past 3 seasons Everton's visits to the Lane had been bad for us, with them handing down defeats to our boys.

With a virus outbreak happening at the club, we might be without regulars Palacios and Corluka as they are down with it. Good thing is, the club is taking steps to prevent further infections and we do hope that everything will turn out well. Pavlyuchenko may have another start in the game after his performance against Bolton during the midweek.

So, can we break Everton's run? Can we break our jinx?

On Sunday we will know.

COYS!!!!
