Spurs v Blackburn

Looking forward to a proper football match tonight after the charade served up by Chelsea and Man Utd last night.

Spurs and Blackburn have both been playing well recently and should serve up an entertaining clash live on Sky Sports.

This is an extremely tough game to call and I have yet to fully commit to a recommended trade tonight.

Mark Hughes has done a great job at Blackburn, transforming his team from a snarling, aggressive beast into a free flowing creative outfit that still maintains a steely edge.

With 2 of the most effective wide men in the Premiership, Pedersen and Bentley supplying ammunition to McCarthy and Roberts, Blackburn have made a late charge for a Uefa Cup spot.

Anything other than a victory tonight at White Hart Lane will scupper hopes of a second successive European tour, so I expect them to go all out for a win tonight.

Big spending Spurs have been good to watch in the second half of the season and have been a profitable team to follow.

The imperious Berbatov is fast turning into one of my favourite players in World football and is an early tip to win the Golden boot next term.

Martin Jol seems to have settled on the dynamic Zokora and Jenas in central midfield and with the likes of Lennon and Malbranque in wide areas they carry a potent threat.

Blackburn are available to back at 4.70 which is a decent price, against a Spurs side that coasted to victory against Charlton on Monday.

I will wait and see the confirmed team news before committing to any trades, but my initial take on the match is that I will Lay Spurs (1.94) and get involved in one of the Goals markets (I am execting goals)

I will update nearer kick off
