Fixture Focus - Spurs (17 Nov 2012)

Arsenal FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

2 losses from the past 2 EPL games, and we have this “ye olde derby” coming up. What’s worse is that the game will be at their home turf.

Our injury and doubtful list of key players remained the same, which means the entire team who went to Manchester last weekend will likely make the short trip to the Emirates Stadium. The next question is who will AVB play – will he give a chance to Adebayor to start and, together with Gallas, give some sort of an old boys reunion taste to the game? And whether Friedel or Lloris will helm the space in front of goal? We will know them soon enough.

Arsenal had not been in a good run lately, with 2 draws and a loss in their past 3 games. Wenger is aware that his backline is not as steady as before, with the game against Fulham last weekend to show it. But with Wilshere back in full form and speedster Walcott, the midfield will likely to see an interesting duel.

With emerging teams vying for the limited Champions League spots, this will be a very interesting game.

COYS!
