Yes, it's the match we've all been talking about and the wait is nearly over. Spurs and Arsenal, the two deadly rivals of London meet head to head at White Hart Lane, let's just say it won;t be a goaless draw with no cards.

Both teams seem to have pretty full squads with no new injury notices from either team. One possible ''loss'' for Spurs is that of our *ahem* dazzling youngster Helder 'Oh so close' Postiga. *cries* (tears of joy).

I've also been informed (www.skysports.co.uk) that Carr has been ruled out, which is a bit of a blow as his suspension hasn't kicked in.

One plus for Spurs is that Richards is back so we can finally get that idiot Doherty back out of the team. This strengthens our defence again, granted he isn't the best of centre backs, but he's better than Doc.

Now, this does leave us in a little dilemma at the back, as that leave's us without a right back. In my opinion, one of two things we could do...

1. Play three accross the back: Gardner, Richards and King.

2. Put Jacko in at right back, although it isn't his natural position, he is a good solid defender, and he loves going forward, surely linking up well with Davies.

I think that we should go with the three accross the back, simply as that put more men on danger man Thierry Henry. None of them can match him for pace, but Gardner and King aren't slow.

This is what I would do, but Pleat however is a different man alltogether. He sees it absolutely neccessary to place King in midfield. Pleaty, if you're reading this; King is a defender, not a midfielder!

This leaves my team looking something like this:

...............Keller...............
.....King....Richards...Gardner.....
..Davies...Dalmat...Brown...Jacko...
..............Poyet.................
......Keane............Defoe........

Poyet - I'm not sure if he is totally fit, but if he is, I would put him in, he has a good record against Arsenal in terms of goal scoring. If not, then play Keano just behind Defoe and Kanoute.

Dalmat has to be in the team because he has flair and skill, something Spurs are lacking in abundance currently, and Redknapp is crap and past it.

Surely we can't expect to win, against an Arsenal and especially Henry is such good form.

A quote from one Gus Poyet: "We are lucky to have the chance to play them before the end of the season and maybe change the bad run we are having."

We have a chance, however little, and as they say; 'Stranger things have happened!'

4-2 Spurs

Ah well, I can dream

Up the Spurs!!!

To be frank with you, I don't think it matters which team Spur's put out against Arsenal, I can only see a Gunners win.

However...

Hold on; we could easily have lost at Highbury, and were lucky to win with that deflection, and no matter how brilliant we've been in the past we've always managed to splutter against Spurs. And with Robbie Keane and Defoe up front there'll be a problem.

Still, even if we played Aliadiere and Wiltord up front, the way Spurs' defence has been playing we should clock up a fair few ;-)

Let's hope so eh :) but I can't see it, Arsenal have got the bit between their teeth now and I think it will carry them all the way through to the end of the season undefeated, even if they don't win at White Hart Lane, I can still see them getting a draw.

It's a London derby, possibly the most hyped in the whole premiership, Arsenal fans, I wouldn't go counting all your chickens just yet
