Spurs face QPR next, a team that have mixed fortunes this season, I was lucky enough to watch them against Chelsea last weekend and if Chelsea had 11 players on the pitch, it would have never stayed that way. In fairness it should have been at least 1-1, you have to question how Anelka could not put the ball anywhere else, except straight at the keeper from 6 yards out.
Spurs get the opportunity to welcome back Adel Taarabt back to the lane. Not exactly sparked the Premier League to life since his entrance back, shows that honestly QPR should have cashed in on him on the summer as really he is just a Championship player. Adel looked miffed last week at being substituted and dumb founded at why he wasn't allowed to take the penalty against Chelsea. Not exactly a team player.
A player that looked half decent last week was Wright-Phillips, a player who I think that Spurs should have taken a punt on. Wright-Phillips always gives 110% for any club he plays for and just wants to play football, a wise investment by QPR. Not sure he will really trouble Ekotto and he could find himself tracking back and trying to double up on Bale tomorrow.
I no way think that tomorrow will be a walk over by any means, but if Tottenham show up like they did against Liverpool you can expect a minimum of 3 goals from Spurs. London derby's are always a hard one to call, Spurs need to show QPR some respect and get at them early, an early goal from Spurs will dictate the direction of the game.
Spurs have Gallas and Pienaar back in contention for the squad. Pienaar has never really showed the form that he had for Everton and has spent more time in the treatment room than on the pitch. Gallas was an absolute rock last season and will be a welcome addition back to the squad, I think that Kaboul has showed that he can step up but needs Gallas, King or Dawson just to give him a bit more confidence.
I expect the team to be Friedal, Walker, Kaboul, Bassong, Ekotto, Bale, Modric, Parker, Lennon, VDV & Adebayor.
Adebayor will be looking to get back amongst the goals this weekend, Lennon will be looking to make the right hand side his own again as this is the position that is up for the most debate, can VDV play there with Defoe up front, does Modric play wide and Sandro and Parker play in the middle. A question that can only be answered by the form of players and the Manager himself. VDV is in fine form and will be looking to add to his tally.My prediction for tomorrow is 3-0 to Spurs of course.
