Premiership - Derby v Tottenham
Day: Saturday, 9 February
Kick-off: 15h00
Stadium: Pride Park
Derby managed some good results on there last 2 matches.
After the conceeded a home draw against City, they catched another draw against Birmingham.
But, i think it's time to stop earning points and play against strong and well organized teams such as Tottenham.
Derby's Darren Moore and Andy Todd are doubts (both hamstring) and may join a catalogue of defenders who are out.
Loan midfielder Hossam Ghaly is ineligible to play against his parent club, while new signing Mile Sterjovski may be involved.
Derby only won one match since the premier league start and sincerly i'm not seeing this team playing equal to equal against Tottenham.
Ramos is doing a good job and Spurs could become dreaming on an European place.
Tottenham is almost on 100% for this match and with Lennon, Jenas, Berbatov and Keane i think the victory is an easy task.
Ramos knows that such games need to be won and this clash against the last on the table is one of them for sure.
Tottenham centre-back Jonathan Woodgate is suspended and Didier Zokora is still on Africa Cup of Nations duty.
Darren Bent has been edging closer to full fitness after a knee injury and could be available.
Tottenham won at home against this poor Derby by 4-0 on the 1st round.
I think we could expect an easy away victory by 0-2 or even more if things work ok.
