Fixture Focus–Spurs (Europa League, 5 April 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs F.C. Basel

F.C. Basel are the league leaders in Switzerland. They will be coming to White Hart Lane seeking away goals to take home for the next leg.

These 2 teams have never met before. The only links between us and Basel are that Christian Gross have coached both teams in his career and defender Thimothee Atouba has played for both Basel and Spurs previously.

Spurs will be without Defoe and Tom Carroll as both are out with injuries. I would expect some of the starters to be rested as Everton waits us over the weekend. Expect AVB to bring on them on if we need a spark on the field.

With renewed confidence after the Swansea game, I am hopeful for 3 points to take to the next leg.
