Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 23 October 2011)

  Blackburn Rovers vs Tottenham Hotspur 

League table proppers Blackburn will be entertaining visiting Tottenham who are looking to continue our unbeaten run to six games.  Rovers have only beaten Spurs twice in our last 15 meetings and Paul Robinson (former Lilywhite shot stopper) has already let in 18 goals this season.

With our recent form, Spurs will face this fixture with confidence after a well deserved mid-week win in the Europa League where many first stringers were rested.  Adebayor should start in front and the biggest selection headache for ‘arry is where to play van der Vaart.  If Defoe gets a start too, then van der Vaart will be pushed out to the right side again where he can be quite ineffective.  I don’t envy ‘arry dilemma as he has to fill his midfield with the likes of Bale, Modric, Parker, Sandro, van der Vaart and Lennon.

Here’s hoping he picks the right formation and lineup for a win!

COYS!!!
