Rafael Van der Vaart looks set to return to the Spurs starting lineup, after Harry Redknapp confirmed that he has trained all week ahead of the derby showdown with Arsenal.

Emmanuel Adebayor and Benoît Assou-Ekotto should also shake off respective problems, whilst Luka Modric looks likely to recover from the flu. Their counterparts could well have a reinforced backline with Laurent Koscielny and Kieran Gibbs potentially recovering; a decision will be made on the pair tomorrow.

Ryan Taylor has recovered from an ankle injury for Newcastle as they take on Wolves – whose leading scorer Steven Fletcher is a doubt with a virus. Elsewhere, Junior Hoilett is fit for Blackburn, whilst reports suggest that Tom Cleverely may have suffered an ankle injury during Manchester United’s game with Ajax.

    Is it worth getting Huth out for a hit (probably to Santon), or keep him this week and play BAE (I will then only have three defenders playing with two non-playing defenders on the bench)? I would probably play Huth next weekend then move him out the weekend after, that is why I am thinking of sticking, but I can't decide. Any help appreciate, thanks

      He is usually splendid against Arsenal, and if he plays he will most likely score too. But then again, it's too risky as we are unsure about the game time he will get. Btw if he does well in both the games, I'm pretty sure you would not want to transfer him out of your team.
      I am contemplating Dempsey->VDV after gw29 assuming he looks like a regular again.

    Bale, Siggy, Dempsey, Silva, McLean

    RvP, Aguero, Dave

    Who would you bench.

    Also looking for someone at 6.4 or less to swap in for Siggy, but they must rotate well with McLean. Thoughts on Cabaye, Myachi, Moses, Pilko or Surman?

    Ba is out as I would have no spare cash to get Skrtel in for Taiwo or to upgrade Siggy. Other option is do nothing this week and get Yak next week.

        I think he will start but I'm not as certain with Silva or Aguero, especially after Pizarro's great debut against Porto.

        I hope Mancini doesn't take Blackburn too lightly.

          You reckon Silva and Aguero are less likely to start this match than Richards? Ouch. I always saw Pizarro as cover, quite possibly with Europa in mind.

          I doubt Mancini will take them lightly, remember he apologized after a recent match... Everton I think it was... for exactly that.

      Going to guess Balotelli starts, and maybe K. Toure too. With De Jong, Nasri and Lescott making way. Different full backs too. The core of Kompany, Yaya Toure, Hart, Aguero & Silva should hopefully all start.

        That sounds reasonable. Those five sound pretty nailed on to me.

        Remains to be seen if he changes the fullbacks for me, I think City struggled to break down Villa with their fullbacks including Zab playing - Blackburn will surely come out on the defensive and Mancini should be tempted to play rampaging Richards at home

          Don't think Blackburn are much of a defensive side this season. Been a common theme, them giving it a go against the big teams. Hence them conceding in every game

            Yeah they do have a horrible CS record.

            Very conflicted on who's most likely to start out of Zab and Richards. Maybe Zab might be preferred to deal with the Blackburn attacking threat. But Richards has started most matches at home and in all honesty hasn't really missed that many matches.

      You absolute legend. Just bet the max (a tenner). Win £50 if it happens.

            Yep you placed yours? I was going to say it's almost like free money but obviously that's tempting fate... it just seems so hard to contemplate him not scoring.
