Tottenham and Inter Milan progress to the knockout stages, while FC Twente will play in the Europa League as Werder Bremen cannot topple them because of a poorer head-to-head record against the Dutch. Spurs need to match or better Inter's result to top the group.



So is the game a "dead rubber" ? Twente cannot hope to better there position. Not sure if the Europa is seeded for clubs with slightly better records in C/L. We could do with a win but as long as we match the Inter result we go through as group winners. As I said the perfect game to enjoy the occasion . . . . . . . .

wont they drop into the uefa cup if they beat us.

oh really thats great news. hopfully they play the kids.

i would give ekotto a rest. hes been making stupid errors lately.

subs cudichini crouch bentley wp kranker sandro ekotto

hopefully get 3 0 up and take bale off and give him a rest

Personally i think with qualification already secured we need keep 1 eye on Chelsea Sunday, be fantastic to top the group with a win and miss the soo called BIG teams in the last 16 but come on the last 16 of the champs leauge there all hard games! If reports are too believed Twente are out to avenge the the elbow by Thudd in the game at the Lane, i fear for some of our "creative" players like Modric, Bale, Lennon. We need to beat Chelsea, a team with only 1 win in there last 6 games

Twente are missing their star player Ruiz through injury and are giving their veteran goalie a run out for sentimental reasons....
TWENTE NOT OUT FOR REVENGE | Sporting Life - Football | Football Transfers, Holland Eredivisie News, Fixtures, Results, Match.

Jermaine Jenas is fit after a calf injury but fellow midfielder Luka Modric is a doubt as Tottenham eye top spot in Champions League Group A.

Jenas limped out of the 3-0 win over Werder Bremen two weeks ago, while Modric has been struck down by flu.

Spurs have already qualified for the last 16 knockout stage, and can go through as group winners should they beat Dutch champions Twente on Tuesday.

Rafael van der Vaart (hamstring) and Younes Kaboul (hip) are still missing.

Sandro is ineligible, while Tom Huddlestone (ankle), Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate (both groin) and Jamie O'Hara (back) are longer-term absentees.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp said that finishing top of the group could create a smoother path to the quarter-finals of Europe's elite competition.

"It's [teams like] Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Barcelona otherwise" he reflected. "You want to finish top and avoid them.

"You would certainly have a better chance of getting someone [less difficult] and progressing."

The north Londoners currently lead Group A on goal difference from holders Inter Milan, who travel to Werder Bremen for their final game.

"Inter will want to win; Twente will want to beat us, for sure, and we want to finish top if we can, so there is a lot to play for," Redknapp added.

"Inter Milan will go to Germany looking to win because that top position is important."

Twente's fate has already been decided, with the Dutch champions guaranteed third place, meaning they will parachute into the knockout stage of the Europa League.

TOTTENHAM TEAM [FROM]:

Gomes, Cudicini, Hutton, Corluka, Bale, Dawson, Gallas, Bassong, Assou-Ekotto, Palacios, Jenas, Kranjcar, Lennon, Bentley, Modric, Crouch, Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Defoe.

Tottenham ensured they will avoid Europe's biggest clubs in the last 16 of the Champions League after drawing at FC Twente to finish top of Group A.

Goalkeeper Sander Boschker missed his kick from a back-pass to put Spurs ahead, but Twente equalised through Denny Landzaat's retaken penalty.

Jermain Defoe restored Tottenham's lead with a neat finish before Roberto Rosales headed his side level.

After Defoe tapped in a second, Nacer Chadli's free-kick gave Twente a point.

However, the draw was enough to put Tottenham through to the next round as pool winners because Inter Milan - needing to better Spurs' result to top the group - lost 3-0 to Werder Bremen.

That meant the north London club finished on 11 points; one clear European champions Inter, who join Spurs in the knockout stage as runners-up.

Twente came third with six points, meaning they drop into the Europa League, and Werder were bottom on five points.

Knowing a victory would guarantee his side pole position, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp vowed to go all out for the win and despite making four changes to his starting line-up - perhaps with Sunday's visit of Chelsea in mind - it was still a strong Spurs side that took to the field.

And although the temperatures dropped below freezing before kick-off, the visitors warmed the hearts of their supporters by opening the scoring - albeit in bizarre fashion.

Twente actually made the more promising start and Wout Brama saw a half-volley from 20-yards saved by a diving Heurelho Gomes before the Brazilian goalkeeper reacted well to stop a Luuk de Jong flick from Rosales' dangerous cross.

But the hosts looked on in disbelief as Boschker went to clear captain Wisgerhof's bobbling back pass, only to swing at thin air and watch the ball trickle into his net.

It was a horrid way for the 40-year-old, in his 21st season at the club, to mark his Champions League debut.

Yet the goal came against the run of play and, fortunately for Boschker, Twente were soon level after a stinging volley from Rosales struck the raised elbow of Benoit Assou-Ekotto.

Landzaat's initial spot kick was disallowed - the former Wigan midfielder punished for stopping during his run-up - but his unconvincing second effort squirmed home via the legs of Gomes.

While clear-cut chances were few and far between before half-time, Roman Pavlyuchenko had a drive well saved and Defoe's near-post volley sailed narrowly wide as Spurs worked hard to regain their advantage.

And shortly after the restart they had it, Twente failing to clear Gareth Bale's left-wing cross and Aaron Lennon brilliantly teeing up Defoe to slot past Boschker.

well i though corluka was poor. so slow. ekotto why does he lump the ball up feild all the time.

lennon is gettin better. its good defoe has got sum goals.
