Fixture Focus - Spurs (23 September 2009)

Preston North End vs Tottenham Hotspur
 
Injury crisis...is what both teams are facing at the moment.

This Carling Cup 3rd round tie is by no means a "sure win" for Spurs.  2 recent losses to the Manchester United and Chelsea have brought us down to earth with a thud.  And no one suffered a bigger blow than Sebastien Bassong, whose tangle with Anelka left him falling hard to the ground resulting in a concussion and a swollen eye.  This adds to the defensive crisis with Woodgate and King also out.  The good news is that Dawson is ready to go and we will probably be starting Corluka as a central defender as well, with Hutton and BAE as the wingbacks.  I would love for 'arry to try playing Lennon on the left and starting Bentley on the right wing.  Keane is completely

Preston themselves are also short of players as they have injuries throughout their squad. 

But the firepower of Spurs upfront should get us a result and a much needed confidence booster after 2 bad losses in the league.

COYS!!!
