Spurs look a decent side on paper but we could hit them for an important away win. Jol has made some good signings but its asking a lot to have them all gel straight way, and they could be vulnerable in this match.
I would play 4-4-2 myself with Morientes and Cisse up front, but I'm certain Benitez will play 4-2-3-1 with Alonso, Gerrard, Hamman/Siisoko, Riise and Garcia in midfield, with either Nando Morientes or possibly Peter Courch - fitness permitting - up front on his own, with Cisse coming on as a late substitute.
If Crouch is fully fit I'll wager he'll start. Benitez has been harping on about signing Crouch for awkward away matches and I'm sure he'll be eager to give Crouch a chance as soon as he can.
Jolly Bob Grumbine.
