Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 6 March 2011)

Wolves vs Tottenham Hotspur   

This fixture could not have been more appropriate at this time as both teams are intimately linked with the late Dean Richards.  He was a top quality defender who played for both Wolves and Spurs but passed away at the young age of 36 due to serious illness.  So fans all around will have a tinge of sadness as they come together for the match.

Wolves are riding a good spell at home with recent wins over Manchester United and Blackpool.  And last season, Wolves beat Spurs twice. These results will have a psychological effect on Spurs and the hope is that it will motivate us to come out with guns blazing rather than capitulating.

We know that Rafael van der Vaart and Gareth Bale will not be available for this game, and it looks as if Harry is saving both for next Wednesday's crucial Champions League game against AC Milan.  With a short break in Dubai recently, I would hope that the lads are recharged and ready to make a final assault to keep pace for a Top 4 finish.

COYS!!!
