Fixture Focus - Spurs (4 Jan 2014)

Arsenal FC vs Tottenham Hotspur
(FA Cup 3rd Round)

And the Spurs go marching on.....

We have emerged from the Christmas Crunch with a convincing result - 3 wins and 1 draw, and thus 10 points out of the possible 12 in the bag. Next up, the game has nothing to do with the league, but it is still important nevertheless.

This Saturday, we will be entering the oldest football cup competition in the world. Yes, our used-to-take-home-often-silverware FA Cup. Besides being in the longest running cup competition, the next significance would be our opponent - none other than our "friendly" neighbours Arsenal.

Sherwood may be looking to field a side that won at Manchester just a few days ago. Adebayor and Soldado are likely to be the front pair again, even though the former had taken a knock in the 1 Jan game but is deemed OK to start.

Arsenal will be without Bendtner due to injury incurred in the Cardiff game, while Ozil and Giroud may be considered doubtful for this one.

Let us show our noisy neighbours something not to cheer about.

COYS!
