Match Preview: Spurs v Villa

Who are we playing?
Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday 11th April at 3.00pm

Where are we playing?
White Hart Lane

Can I go?
Still a few tickets left on general sale at time of writing though the Upper Tier has sold out

Easy to get to?
Bit of a hike from the tube...

Can I watch it on telly?
Not officially screened in the UK so dodgy web streams and pubs with overseas satellite systems are your best bet.

Big game?
Huge.

Failure to beat QPR leaves us sweating and with Spurs not exactly pulling up trees at the minute, we must have a right go at this one.

There's a LOT of history between Spurs and Tim Sherwood and there's no way he'll want his charges to lie down and roll over at this one.

The big bonus from the Rangers game is that the Big Chris Benteke seems to have got his mojo back and it could well be his goals that save us.

Kieran Richardson was undoubtedly a liability in our last outing but those that chose to boo him while the game was still in progress need to take a good hard look at themselves. If you can't get behind the lads in such a vital game, what's the point in you being there? Thankfully there will be far fewer bellends in our away contingent.

Patsy

Do Spurs have any famous fans?
Well there's Radio 2's Simon Mayo, Neil Pearson the headmaster off of Waterloo Road and of course, sweet as the moment when the pod went pop, there's Patsy Kensit off the BirdsEye ads
in the 70s.

We've got heir to the throne the Duke of Cambridge.

So we win.

Who's playing for us?
Injuries still an issue and piling up with Carles Gil limping out of the Under 21 match with wolves on Wednesday, though on the plus side, that game was a return to competitive action for Libor Kozak. Be very interesting to see what happens at left back after Richardson had a complete mare against QPR.


Who's playing for them?
Hugo Lloris is losing his race to recover from a knee injury in time to play and our old mate Kyle Walker is a big doubt.

Any useless stats?
Of course, here you go:

• Spurs have beaten us 69 times while we have 55 wins. There have been 35 draws.

• You have to go back to September 2008 for our last win at White Hart Lane. we won 2-1 that day with goals from Nigel Reo Coker and Ashley Young. Young Darren Bent scored theirs.

• Our first ever meeting with Spurs came at their place in the FA Cup in 1903. Jasper McLuckie score twice in our 3-2 away win.

Prediction
2-1 to them
