Fixture Focus - Spurs (6 Feb 10)



Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa FC









Spurs will be hosting Aston Villa at White Hart Lane for a late kick-off this Saturday. The last time these two met, it ended in a draw at Villa Park.

With the race for 4th spot heating up between us, as well as Manchester City and "catching-up" Liverpool, this game could be viewed as crucial for both sides. For one, if Aston Villa won this game, they would leapfrog us by 1 point with same number of games played.

This would be the first league game since the closing of the January transfer window, and no prizes for guessing who will start. Harry Redknapp will likely field the same team that defeated Leeds during the midweek FA Cup replay, with a possibility that Assou-Ekotto might start. For Villa, it seems that they have a full squad up, only missing Reo Coker.

There is no turning back now, in this quest for 4th place. Let us finish the fight!

COYS!!!!!
