Don't forget to wipe your shoes on the way out

For some reason when thinking about our North London neighbours the old Cillit Bang adverts come to mind. Bang! And the dirt is gone.

I remember the last comprehensive victory against Spurs in the FA Cup. Adebayor fell over as he attempted to strike the ball from 18 yards and we sang "Adebayor, what's the score?"
 
Fan favourite and hotly tipped future star Serge Gnabry set up Santi for the first goal and had an all-round great game. We may have to rely on him now that Ozil's out, and I cannot wait to have him thrown back in the mix. (The Lovely Reds - The Gnabry Song is coming soon)

But a little more is riding on this fixture. Only six points separate us in the league and no-one likes scum trying to bite at your heels. Let's go to the lane and thoroughly wipe our feet on the way out. 9 points clear and nice clean shoes.

Walcott up-front, Ozil allowed to float, Wilshere through the middle, Ramsey on the right? Yeah, all injured. So Santi on the left, Rosicky in the middle in front of Flamteta and Ox on the right?

Spurs are playing off the back of two humiliating fixtures, a 4-0 spanking at Stamford Bridge and a 3-1 loss at home to Benfica, a true reflection of their ability to compete against some of Europe's top sides.

More to come tomorrow on team news and how the two sides look to line up. For now all we have to focus on is showing our worth against a side who lack real quality but will be up for a fight to prove themselves after two poor performances.
