White hart lane , Sun 12 Dec 16:00 local time.
Preview and team news:
-Chelsea
●Our horrible run continued after conceding that late goal from Everton. The 3 points would have given back the league lead but instead we dropped to third place behind both Arsenal and United and only one point in front of City. Chelsea are now the 15th best team form wise in the league, with only 5 teams having poorer runs but none of them are in the title race. The fair play table still shows Chelsea with the best disciplined record out of all the premiership teams getting the least red and yellow cards , getting the most points for showing respect towards the opponent and the referees and achieving most points by their positive play.With the coming fixtures, only a win can keep the blues close enough to the top. With Arsenal playing United, 3 points might improve our position more than we have expected.
●Ancelotti also has his fitness concerns with Alex and Yossi Benayoun still out injured, and Yuri Zhirkov doubtful with a calf complaint that stopped him from playing in Wednesday’s clash with Marseille.
In better news, Ancelotti is hopeful influential midfielder/Part time god, Frank Lampard will be ready to make his return from a hernia operation that has kept him out of action since August.
Yids
●Spurs, on the other hand, are enjoying a breakthrough season under Harry Redknapp and have just secured qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League by finishing top of a group that contained reigning Italian and European champions Inter Milan and Dutch champions Twente.In their last Premier League game, Redknapp’s men were held to a 1-1 draw at Birmingham, while they drew 3-3 with Twente on Tuesday in the Champions League. Spurs haver been playing great football with players like Luka Modric , Gareth Bale and VDV posing alot of threat to the champions. They are 10 places ahead of us in the form table.
●However VDV is out of this match, Modric is doubtful with an illness and so is Kaboul. T Huddlestone , L King, J O'Hara and J Woodgate are out on long term injuries. This still does not change the fact that they have a very strong starting line up.
