Fixture Focus - Spurs (7 March 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs FC Internazionale Milano
(Europa League Round of 16, 1st Leg)

Spurs fans will always remember the matches between these 2 sides during the Champions League almost 3 years ago. An almost great comeback at the San Siro, a victory at the Lane, and between these two games saw the attention from the whole of Europe (or maybe the world) to a certain Welsh player.

Later tonight Spurs will be playing host to the visiting Nerazzurri, the first game in our path to the quarter finals of the Europa League. Dembele is fit to start despite the knock he got in the North London derby. Ade is still doubtful but Defoe is now raring to go. Of course, Bale will be in this game, period.

Inter’s coach Stramaccioni has conceded the fact that they are facing an injury crisis, especially their back four. Nagatomo and Silvestre are out, with Ranocchia and Samuel doubtful. Despite this, their striking department is still very much a threat, with Cassano and Palacio in it.

Another mouth-watering match, and remember to bring the napkin.

COYS!
