This game will arguably make or break Spurs' season, if we go through we get £20-30m and the chance to show Europe we are ready for the next level. If we fail, then fingers will get pointed at the management about their failure to adequately invest, as well as suffering a blow to morale and profile.
No Modric, but Kranjcar was rested for the weekend game at Stoke so I expect him to play 90 mins. Lennon is starting to look back on form, Bale is ridiculously unplayable at times, the big question mark is still over our strike force. Defoe is expected to play, but is carrying an injury that will see him sidelined from an operation after the game. We need investment in that area or the others to really stake a claim at being top players, some product to live up to the price tags is sorely needed.
I'm pretty confident we'll go through, my prediction is 3-1 on the night, 5-4 on aggregate. Kranjcar to score a wonder goal.
Tottenham (from): Gomes, Cudicini, King, Hutton, Bale, Kaboul, Naughton, Bassong, Dawson, Corluka, Jenas, Assou-Ekotto, Walker, Huddlestone, Rose, Lennon, Palacios, Kranjcar, Dos Santos, Crouch, Defoe, Keane, Pavyluchenko.
I predict:
Gomes
Corluka King Dawson Assou-Ekotto
Lennon Huddlestone Kranjcar Bale
Crouch Defoe
