Spurs may be facing a double defensive whammy. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...don-derby.html King is out and Walker's a doubt, says this article. While an ITK has said Walker is out. Livermore/Nelsen, Kaboul, Dawson, BAE may be our back four.
Sky reporting Ade, VdV, Modric and BAE to be fit. By the way things are going, it'll be the 'regular' first XI
From official Tottenham on twitter: Ok, our team is in - Ledley back, Luka fit, Saha and Ade up front. Rafa, JD, Aaron on bench. Line-up on way
Has Kranjcar now overtaken Lennon in the pecking order? Azza has been fit for the last few games and hasnt played...
I thought Lennon was carrying a knock, or at least wasn't fully fit. Either way, Niko wants games before the Euros, and if he's match fit as we head into the crunch time we all know he is an effective match-winner on his day. At a guess, on the hour we'll be considering Lennon for Niko and VDV for Saha, depending on how the game is going.
Lennon is a good impact sub because of his pace as well. The side is imbalanced though as a result in terms of pace going forward (Niko is nowhere near as quick). Arsenal have put out a stronger defence than I had anticipated - could be tough today. Going for a draw - I'd take that right now if you offered it.
Slightly worried with Nico in there. I know he has his plusses but he is slow(er) and we never seem to have the same balance. But that bench is pretty strong - just wish we could get Sandro back in the picture.
Christ the BBC site is dreadful today - it's not updated since twelve seconds after kick-off. [EDIT] And, as I type that, now it tells me we're 1-0 up...
