Man City are one of the few sides below us in the current form table, having one just one and drawn one of their last six games. During that spell they have lost dismally at home to the team from the other end of Seven Sisters Road, and also at Chelsea. All is not well in the Keegan camp at the moment, as Steve Howey was left at home for one recent game, when he was upset at being selected for the bench only. Remember Howey's defensive partner, Richard Dunne, had a mare of a time against our near-neighbours in that 5-1 defeat.

One of City's best players - Eyal Berkovic - is going to be missing over Easter, and it is likely that Benabia will get a start. Robbie Fowler has yet to make his mark since signing for City, with only one league goal to his name, whilst Anelka tops the score chart with 12, and Goater and Foe are level on 7 apiece.

The Spurs line-up is likely to be unchanged from last Saturday's team against Leeds. Chris Perry, who scored in our exciting win at Maine Road just before Christmas, is unlucky to be out of the first team picture at the moment, but Gardner and King did enough at Elland Road to keep their places as first choices in the continuing absence of Dean Richards.

As always, goals are usually guaranteed in a game featuring a Kevin Keegan side, and whilst their last outing was a stalemate against Middlesbrough, I expect this match to live up to expectations of a free-running and entertaining Easter fixture, with Spurs on top. I'll go for a 3-1 to the Lilywhites!

Please note that my report for this game will be delayed till Saturday, due to personal commitments.
