FC Twente vs Tottenham Hotspur
(UEFA Champions League Group Stage)
We are through to the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League, and the next game determines whether we will top the group (and be part of the seeded pot for the next draw).
We will travel to the city of Enschede, home of last season's Eredivisie champions. We had knocked them 4-1 back at the Lane a couple of months ago, and FC Twente will be relishing revenge at their home turf of De Grolsch Veste, with nothing to play for but pride.
Our lineup has taken a tremendous blow since the Liverpool game, with Kaboul and Van der Vaart adding to our long list of injured players. Possible starters (likely 4-4-2) would be Gomes at the goal mouth, Assou-Ekotto, Gallas, Bassong and Hutton at the back, Bale, Palacios, Modric and Lennon at midfield, and Defoe/Pavlyuchenko and Crouch up front. Dawson, though unused in the Birmingham game, might appear in this game.
FC Twente will be without their striker Ruiz and leftback Kuiper, but they have virtually everyone starting from their first team.
Expect a crunch match, and a grand finale game to the group stages.
COYS!!!!!
