Tottenham Hotspur v Slavia Prague - Live

Pre-match appetizer: If Bristol City v Crystal Palace on Monday was the amuse-bouche, Tuesday's Liverpool v Inter the hors d'oeuvre and yesterday's Celtic v Barcelons a big Chateaubriand of a main course, then tonight's fare in this week's feast of football is surely the petits fours - you might think you've had your fill, but, when your faced with something tempting, you can always squeeze in a little more.

They'll be served with coffee and we might well need it because this could be a stroll for Spurs if they score early. Slavia need to score twice anyhow and they haven't managed that since beating Viktoria Plzen 3-0 on October 19. Okay, they've had a two-month winter break since then but it's still quite a while.

The Czech back four is as miserly as the front men are shot-shy. They've kept six clean sheets in their last nine league games, and conceded solitary goals in the other three.

Phillip Mayall has emailed in to say: "Please, John, don't call them 'Prague' all night." So are they a bit like Inter Milan, who referring to as Inter Milan is a bit like referring to Chelsea as London Chelsea or Everton as Everton Liverpool? Or has Phil suffered some sort of deep psychological trauma connected with the city so that whenever he sees the word Prague he starts to rock back and forth, moaning and foaming at the mouth? Either way I'm intrigued.
