Fixture Focus–Spurs (Europa, 15 February 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Olympique Lyonnais

The visit of the French giants to the Lane!

Lyon has a good campaign in Ligue 1 so far. They are currently second in the table. However, the French side has definitely lost an air of invincibility they possessed in the past. Both teams definitely play good football. Lyon is coming into this match on the back of two defeats. This is not really the ideal time for Lyon to visit White Hart Lane.

Spurs will be without the services of Sandro, Jermain Defoe, Younes Kaboul and Tom Huddlestone. Will Bale be the central striker again or will Adebayor regain his starting position? The only certainty is that Friedel will be in goal instead of ex-Lyon player Lloris. This is a winnable tie and one to watch for sure.
