Fixture Focus – Spurs (FA Cup Quarterfinals Replay, 24 March 2010)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham

Spurs are one match away from a semi-final clash with Portsmouth at Wembley with Fulham still in the way. While this is a home tie for us, it is no cake walk.

Fulham are coming off a high after beating the mighty Juventus last week in the Europa League but got their confidence rocked a bit by losing to Manchester City over the weekend. Nevertheless, Roy Hodgson will make sure his squad regroups and focus on this replay as well. It always makes me nervous whenever former Spurs players play against us so I will be wary of Simon Davies, Danny Murphy, Paul Konchesky, and Bobby Zamora.

Redknapp will no doubt have to field Gudjohnsen and Crouch upfront as Pavlyuchenko and Defoe are still nursing injuries. I am not sure where the goals will be coming from but I believe that Gudjohnsen, Modric, Kranjcar and Bale will do their best to provide them.

COYS!
