Tottenham vs Chelsea 8pm (Thursday)

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has said Gareth Bale is "very doubtful" because of an ankle injury.

Jermain Defoe may also miss out with a hamstring problem, Emmanuel Adebayor has a minor foot injury. Aaron Lennon is absent due to a hamstring tear.

Chelsea captain John Terry has overcome the Achilles problem he suffered in training earlier this week.

Ramires has recovered from a leg injury but fellow Brazilian David Luiz is still sidelined with a knee problem.

Possibly, not had the best start to his Spurs career. Time to step up, tonight is his chance. Will he cope, lets wait and see.

He wouldn't have started over VDV and Aedbayor anyway to be honest. It is a blow no doubt, because if it's severe we're indeed fucked for now.

Don't worry, Defoe's injury won't be too bad i should imagine. Lennon is only out for a few weeks since its a low grade tear and Bale/Ade have little knocks so no one is fucked. It'll hopefully accelerate us buying another striker in January so could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Wait why aren't you allowed in public?

And I'm edgy, can never be confident for some reason
