So tonight is a must win in some ways. If we win and some off tonights results go in favour of us then we will be sitting pretty again. Will be a tough one but if we keep the ball on the floor and get the ball moving and dont give them time to press the ball and play patient build up play and then we might get somewhere. There are definitely plenty of goals to be scored in tonights game and we have to take advantage of that.

Team news

Tottenham will give Jermaine Jenas a late fitness test as the England international midfielder continues to recover from food poisoning.

Fellow midfielder Luca Modric, who came off the bench on Saturday after four months out with a broken leg, is not quite ready to start.

Manchester City will be without Craig Bellamy, who is suspended following his red card at the weekend.

Shaun Wright-Phillips is definitely out after aggravating an ankle injury.

Tottenham:

Suspended: None Doubtful: Jenas (illness)

Injured: Cudicini (wrist), King (knee), Woodgate (groin)

Man City:

Suspended: Bellamy (one match) Doubtful: De Jong (virus)

Injured: Bridge & Johnson (knee), Wright-Phillips (ankle

With SWP out I would like to see Weiss given a run out.

i think it's a must not lose lewis. i'd take a draw. seriously, i know we draw a lot, but this would be a decent place to take a point. most away points are ok. we beat them at eastlands and we take 3 points more than them from the meetings. we do that against most teams and see where we are at the end of the season. pretty high up.

city's defending against set pieces (ie nil) with crouch about does not bode well though.

we should hav enough to scare them though. robbie, tevez, ade, de jong, ireland, etc. some squad.

i think that is a great call and i agree totally. is petrov available btw?

If we draw Ill be happy as long as we score to get the point, if we are 2-0 up and draw, ill be livid.

How can Spurs be doing so well with those two CB's crocked most of the season and barge turning circle Corluka at RB? They should be conceding loads, hopefully we will score more than them

How the fucl is Barry still getting picked? He's been crap for weeks and needs to be dropped and replaced by a player who isn't carrying an injury!

yes that wanker!!! :)

If he gives just ONE bad decision tonight, I will go off my head.

I reckon we'll throw Weiss on in the second half.....would love to see him turning Corluka inside out down our left wing....just for a change

Possibly 10 GL, but i reckon there will be plenty of goals tonight, and I think Leslie might throw Weiss on. If Corluka is still on, Weiss could turn him and get a valuable cross it to win the game
