Tottenham Hotspur vs Charlton Athletic FC
(FA Cup Third Round)
After a dramatic loss to Everton at Goodison Park, Spurs will be hosting the Addicks in our first FA Cup fixture of the season.
Not sure whether Harry Redknapp is giving this cup a go, but after the hectic "Christmas Crunch", it is practical to rest some of our first-team players and let the benchwarmers and reserves to have a go at this game, especially so that our next fixture will be against Manchester United.
Bale and Van der Vaart will be rested after suffering knocks during the Toffees game. Defoe is eligible to play after his 3-match ban, which we may see him in the squad. Although we do have Bassong, Corluka, Kranjcar, Palacios, etc. able to play, we might see some of our homegrown youngsters starting.
Charlton will be entering this game under their new caretaker manager Keith Peacock, and this game could well be a test for him, although he had Premier League experience with Charlton when they were still in it and West Ham United a few years ago.
After all the giant-killings last night, I would not expect this game to be a walk-in-the-park.
But still, COYS!!!!!
