Following the poor start to the season Spurs fans will be hoping to kick start their season with a win over bitter rivals Arsenal. Spurs have had a lot to cope with in the first month of the season.

Although it has not been all bad news the players have closed ranks and put on a few good performances apart from a few lapses in concentration and playing some players out of position.

Injured Spurs Players Ready For Arsenal

Tottenham will also be in good spirits as they have a few of the walking wounded passed fit to take part against the Gunners. Anthony Gardener, Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Aaron Lennon and £16m striker Darren Bent will all be available for Saturday.

According to under fire manager Martin Jol, Darren Bent is ‘in good form’, Lennon will provide attacking menace on the right flank to match Bale on the left, finally giving Spurs some balance in midfield. The more difficult decision is which two to play in the central midfield roles. Jenas & Huddlestone seem to provide the mobility and defence splitting passes that link up the play from defence to attack. Although Jol likes to play Didier Zokora who often lacks the killer ball and can get caught out of position in the play.

The game is a must win for both teams which could lead the game to being a tense, hard fought nil-nil draw, rather than the free flowing footballing spectacle that both teams could make it.
