Fixture Focus - Spurs (26 Oct 2014)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United FC

The second of 3 games in 6 days, good thing we stay put at the Lane for this match-up. A convincing win and a field day for Kane (including his goalie experience) and Lamela during the midweek as we thrashed the Greek side Asteras Tripolis 5-1.

Given their form and confidence, we may see Kane and Lamela to start against the Magpies. Regarding the defensive frailties, I hope Pochettino start off with Vertonghen and Kaboul at the back to shore it up.

Pardew's attacking men Cisse and Riverie are doubtful for this game, and other injuries such as Tiote and Ameobi are giving him headaches in team selection. It has been very long since Newcastle had won away.

With a win, we could see ourselves moving up to at least within the top 7 tonight.

COYS!
