With new signing Andy Johnson likely to partner James Beattie up front they look like they might be a little more potent than last time out. Towards the end of last term Beattie seemed to work an understanding with Scottish International James McFadden, who incidentally was the last Everton player to score at WHL, in Spurs 5-2 win in January 2005. Now however McFadden will have to be content with splinters again as boss Davie Moyes looks to achieve a top six finish with his new strikeforce.

 As for Spurs, we got our season back on track on tuesday night, and although i saw only brief highlights, it appears we played some really nice stuff against the Blades. Hopefully the players can carry that form onto the pitch come 3pm on saturday.

 Dimitar Berbatov, of course, got his WHL debut off to a flier against Neil Warnocks men, and his performance, along with that of Robbie Keane was very encouraging. Jenas also got his self on the scoresheet, and after a poor performance from him at Bolton, that goal will surely be a confidence booster for the young midfielder.

 I see this being a fairly tight encounter, with The Toffees proving difficult to break down. Over the piece, we should have enough quality to see us through though, and im going to predict a 2-0 win for Spurs with Keane and Lennon scoring.

 Spurs, on the other hand, had the dissapointment of the opening day loss at Bolton and will be looking to kick start their season with a home win over one of the sides regarded as relegation candidates. However, i believe different, and fancy the Blades to avoid the drop and begin to re-establish themselves in the top flight after their long absence from the elite. They have a decent squad of players, with guys like Phil Jagielka and Paddy Kenny particularly important to them. In Neil Warnock they have a manager who appears totally committed to the cause, and he is not frightened to tell it like it is.

 It is a little difficult to pinpoint exactly what what wrong at The Reebok on saturday but it could be that just simply too many players were having an off day. It could also be argued that going down 2-0 to the Wanderers within 13 minutes is something that you aint ever going to come back from, supposing you played through the night. Whatever the reasons, it is obvious that things will have to change a little in order to take the scalp of the men from Bramall Lane.

 Robbie Keane, who looked ok when coming off the bench, will hope to start, with Defoe, who was innefectual at Bolton, perhaps dropping to the bench. Dimitar Berbatov showed some nice touches in the opening loss, and hopefully he will mark his competetive debut at The Lane with a goal or two.

 Another player who i feel let down the side at The Reebok was Edgar Davids, and perhaps a little bench time would do him good. So come tuesday evening i would fully expect us to have three points in the bag, although i think it will be a tough game, finishing, i predict 2-1 to Spurs.
