Fixture Focus - Spurs (2 Oct 2011)


Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal FC










A thrilling derby had passed us on Saturday evening at a location called Merseyside in the northwest of England, and soon there will be another derby clash, right at the heart of north London.

White Hart Lane will play host to its neighbours Arsenal in this 152nd league meeting (correct me if I got my figures wrong) between the rivals. Being a derby, Harry Redknapp will likely start an almost completely different team that played Shamrock Rovers just 2 days earlier. Expect Bale, Van der Vaart, Modric, Parker, Assou-Ekotto and of course ex-Gunner Adebayor to start.

Arsenal, like us, had won their latest European game and will be relishing this clash. First-time Gunners Mertesacker and Arteta will start, along with stalwarts van Persie, Sagna and Song. With their season starting at a low, Wenger will take this game very seriously.

Expect a flurry of goals, but advantage will be to Spurs.

COYS!!!!!
