Fixture Focus - Spurs (31 Dec 2011)



Swansea City AFC vs Tottenham Hotspur







The last game of the year, and also part of the compressed set of fixtures in a period known as the "Christmas Crunch", Spurs will be travelling away for the second time in a row, this occasion across the border to Wales.

The Spurs squad bus that goes to the Liberty Stadium will be without Lennon and Pavlyuchenko for sure, but Defoe and King may have a chance to get a seat on board. Dawson could mark his return to the sidelines for this game, and Van der Vaart could also make an appearance, too. Other confirmed players will be the likely suspects of Bale, Modric, Parker, Adebayor, etc.

The Swans have an impressive record at home this season, with only 1 loss. Their in-Vorm keeper has made a lot of tremendous saves from the best of the opposition, and may do so against us, too. Their fullback Rangel would try to go for a late fitness test, and they would be without Caulker, who can't play against us due to our terms of loan.

We are now the only team in the chasing pack (or rather, the chasing "one") after the two Manchester teams in the table. We could sail by 7 points ahead of our nearest table rival Chelsea, given the same number of games played. Complacency is not an option now, if we continue to chase our Champions League dream.

COYS!!!!!
