Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 26 February 2012)

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

Derby days always carry a sense of excitement that is uncomparable to any other match in any competition, including the Champions League.

Spurs will be aiming to do the double against our league arch rival this season, having won the home tie 2-1 back in October 2011.  The confidence is high in the Spurs camp, coming off a 5-0 dismantling of Newcastle in our last league match and we must capitalize on that.  Rafael van der Vaart has scored 4 goals in 3 Premier League matches against the Gunners and will be dangerous up front together with Adebayor.  ‘arry will field the strongest possible team we have and that may include Ledley King at the back as well.

This match just reeks of intense rivalry and I am hoping Adebayor spoils the party for his former team at home.  It is the fight between 3rd and 4th place in the league and will be epic.

COYS!!!
