Fixture Focus–Spurs (Europa League, 7 December 2012)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Panathinaikos

No beating around the bush. Win or draw and we will progress to the knock-out stages of the competition.

Panathinaikos have a full strength side and should make a go of it as a win should take them through if Lazio beats Maribor. Meanwhile, Spurs will have to do without the services of Gareth Bale, Michael Dawson, Scott Parker, Younes Kaboul and Benoit Assou-Ekotto. Both Bale and Dawson were substituted during the match against Fulham for pulling their hamstrings. Expect Friedel and Adebayor to start as Lloris and Defoe get much needed rest.

AVB has got a string of wins in the Premier League under his belt and I am looking forward for a good result tonight to continue building our momentum. We definitely have the quality in our side so it is up to the players to show it on the field. I do not expect a high-scoring affair though.
