Tottenham have to compete for a Champions League place this season ...


.... after a 5th place finish last year and the substantial summer investment in the squad, there is great expectation at White Hart Lane and anything less will be seen as failure.

Following the first day defeat at Bolton, they must get back on track with 3 points tonight, against newly promoted, Sheffield United.

The side from Yorkshire showed a little fight, but not much else, in the 1-1 home draw with Liverpool, the injuries to two key defenders for the visitors, proving the key point in that game.
Neil Warnock's side will do very well to avoid relegation this season.

Jermain Defoe is a doubt , should he fail a late test, Robbie Keane will start upfront alongside Berbatov. Teemu Tainio returns to the squad and vies for a place in the classy Spurs midfield, which I expect to dominate the game.

5 points Tottenham 1.53 betfair.

Good Luck.
