Fixture Focus–Spurs (11 November 2012)

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur

Can we do the away double of the Manchester sides this season? Big question to ask really.

Having only 3 days of rest after the Europa League match on Thursday, Spurs have to travel to the Etihad for a very tough league match against the reigning champions who have had 5 days of rest. The last 2 visits here have resulted in defeat for Spurs. But having taken the points at Old Trafford recently, we know that we can beat anyone if our game is on.

I hope the dominance shown by Spurs on Thursday will convince AVB to be flexible and employ the 4-4-2 formation when the occasion allows it. With the players we have now, 4-4-2 suits us perfectly. Bale will relish taking on Maicon again after his move from Milan and could terrorise the left flank.

I say we should throw caution to the wind and attack with 2 up front.
