Fixture Focus – Spurs (17 April 2010)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea   

Another toughie in the space of 3 days!

This is the second of 3 matches in a row where we play the top 3 teams in the league and Saturday’s tie with the current league leader is not going to be easy.  With Drogba leading the charge up front and Malouda coming into his own, Spurs will have their hands full dealing with the expected pressure. 

Chelsea has not won at Spurs for the past 5 years.  But I’ll be honest.  I do not know if the lads have enough stamina in them to win this one.  One hundred and twenty minutes of FA Cup football followed by an energy sapping midweek win against the Gooners may start to take its toil on the players.  The good news is that ‘azza could be ready to play again and may be available as a sub.  Palacios is still out due to suspension and King’s knees cannot take 2 games straight.

This is another massive game for us and getting anything more than a point will be a fantastic result.

COYS!
