Fixture Focus - Spurs (28 Nov 2010)



Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool FC










A week after our victory over Arsenal at their home turf in 17 years, and a few days after our victory against Werder Bremen in which we are qualified to the knockout stages of the Champions League, Spurs will host yet another thrilling clash which had signified our newfound position as one of the new top 4 just a season ago. In the very same fixture last season, Spurs had nicked a 2-1 victory over the boys from the Kop, who in the season before were nearly crowned champions.

Spurs will probably be entering this game with our midfield wonders Van der Vaart and Jenas doubtful, but at least our flying wingmen Bale and Lennon will start, along with the central stalwarts Modric and Palacios. Dawson is fit but I guess he would be sidelined in favour of current centreback pairing of Gallas and Kaboul, along with Hutton and Assou-Ekotto at their sides. Last but not least, Defoe and Crouch are eager to rekindle their strike partnership again.

The Reds are without their wonder captain Gerrard but we will be facing their on-form Torres. Furthermore, there is this media-hyped expected clash between Bale and Johnson.

A must win, and especially so at White Hrt Lane, where it proved to be a fortress against teams which had played in the Champions League (for now).

COYS!!!!!
