    With pretty well everyone fit for today's match (bar Dawson, Gallas, Huddlestone & Pienaar), the only question seems to be who does Harry play in central midfield?

    One out of Modric, Parker and Sandro has to miss-out, and I think it will be Sandro...

    Friedel

    Walker - Kaboul - King - Assou-Ekotto

    Parker - Modric

    Lennon - Van der Vaart - Bale

    Adebayor

    Subs: Gomes (GK), Corluka, Bassong, Sandro, Kranjcar, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko​

    I'd play Defoe rather than Van der Vaart, I think he understands the importance of this game a bit more.

    I think VDV's efforts against Arsenal last show exactly how much he understands the importance of the game. He was arguably our best player over the two games, and his three goals and winning the pen at the Emirates in the first place were vital.

    I wouldn't like to call the team, but worried about Walker at RB , if he's properly fit.

    Defoe returns to the starting line-up with Sandro dropping to the bench, as Redknapp reverts to the 4-4-2 that was so effective against Liverpool.

    Would people like to see this article used as the match thread or would you prefer a separate one for that?

    Strong line up from Spurs! :D

    Looks like Arsenal have gone 4-3-3 - I thought they might have tried a more defensive midfield but there you go.

    Didn't think we'd have VdV, Ade and Defoe in the line up either!

    I have to say that was an amazing takedown from Adebayor from Friedel's throw!

    Parker was unlucky...

    Van der Vaart was about a week late there - booked.

    Arsenal edging the game so far...

    Very happy with the scoreline, but not so happy with the performance.
    We've lost the midfield battle so far, as we've been outnumbered in there, so Redknapp has some work to do at half-time.

    Handball in the build-up and then not given a second yellow for jumping in the crowd to celebrate. Spurs deffo having the rub of the green in the first half.
