Well it hasn’t been the best of weeks for Tottenham has it? A crushing 5-2 defeat at rivals Arsenal in last Sunday’s North London derby left everyone questioning whether Spurs could maintain their title tilt.
It was a remarkable turnaround on the 5-0 thumping they gave Newcastle just a fortnight ago and boss Harry Redknapp will be eager for his players to bounce back. It will be difficult coming up against in-form Manchester United and avenging the 3-0 defeat suffered when two met back in August will be high on the agenda. Tottenham have lost just three times since then and know they can close the gap on second placed United and put the skids on their pursuit of neighbours City.
This week on FFC there have been rumours surrounding Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen’s potential move to White Hart Lane plus more discussion over the England job and whether Redknapp isn’t the FA’s only option.
