Fixture Focus - Spurs (EPL, 3 December 2011)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Bolton Wanderers  

The focus is back on the League again tonight as Spurs entertain the visiting Trotters.

Spurs have won six and lost none of their last seven home games against Bolton in all competitions.  We have lost just one of our last 22 Premier League home games while Bolton have lost 15 and won just two of their last 18 Premier League away games.  So the stats do favor the home side in this tie.

For the lineup, it is heartening to know that van der Vaart has recovered from his injury and is available again.  Whether ‘arry will start him in place of the “hot” Defoe at the moment is anybody’s guess.  The fact that we had to use a few first stringers in midweek worries me as we would want our strongest side possible for this tie.   

Bolton meanwhile find themselves struggling to escape the clutches of the relegation zone having lost their previous two games against West Brom and Everton to leave them just two points clear of bottom-placed club Wigan.  Kevin Davies is a dangerous striker and could cause us problems.

I hope we continue our wonderful run and continue to keep pace with the top 2 in the league.

COYS!!!
