Stoke City FC vs Tottenham Hotspur
Our boys would be travelling to the Britannia Stadium to face Stoke City FC this Saturday.
We have now entered the final leg of the race for the coveted 4th spot, and from now on every game, point and goal would be important to us. We had slipped up against Stoke early in the season, and now we could not afford to slip up, and at the same time we have to gain back our "face" from that loss.
Defoe is out (most likely for a long while) due to hamstring injuries, and our woes do not end with just strikers - Huddlestone, Jenas, Lennon, Woodgate and King are still out (and also probably for a long while), and our youngsters Walker and Rose are also out. This looks like a job for our Tri-Croat combo of Modric, Krancjar and Corluka, and our either 2 of 3 strikers Gudjohnsen, Palyuchenko and Crouch to start.
The only fear that we have of Stoke is Delap and his throw-ins-that-look-like-free-kicks. They had managed to draw with Aston Villa last weekend at home.
Even though we have to face the 3 teams above us on the table in the coming weeks in our quest for a Champions League spot, we have to win this first.
COYS!!!!!
