Fixture Focus - Spurs (22 Dec 2013)

Southampton FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

The 0-5 defeat at home, the departure of AVB, the exit from the League Cup....

How bad can it get?

This weekend's game marks the beginning of the annual Christmas Crunch in the EPL season. For this one, Spurs is travelling south to the port city of Southampton, home of (you guessed it) Southampton FC. New manager Sherwood is now facing injured and suspended player problems, with familiar names such as Townsend, Vertonghen and Paulinho out of his team bus list. However, he might bring in on-form Adebayor, who had displayed some class in the League Cup game against West Ham after his cold storage by AVB.

The Saints are facing injury problems of their own, with their first line keepers Boruc and Davis, and players Wanyama, Clyne and Fox, out of selection.

An unprecedented season with so many eligible teams vying for the top 4 spots, Spurs would have to obtain maximum points from this Sunday till New Year's Day, else our European dreams would come crashing to the ground even before the season ends.

COYS!!!!!
