After failing to win at home against Sunderland, Tottenham meets Blackburn, who got to be happy with that away victory against Newcastle.
It was their fifth visit on St James Park in the past 7 years and their 5th victory over Newcastle at their own stadium. The statistics however for this game is a bit different.
Blackburn has one just one of the last seven away games on White Hart Lane. The team is currently taking the 13th place with 16 points, just a point behind Tottenham who are 7th.
Blackburn’s away record is W2 D1 L3, while Tottenham’s home record is W2 D3 L1. In the last 5 direct games here, Tottenham has been able to win 3, tie 1, and lose 1 in 2007.

Roman Pavlyuchenko will be the key for Tottenham this game as he has scored 3 goals in two games against Blackburn the previous season.
The Spurs have gone four home games already without a win, and that is their longest since January 2009.
Tottenham has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games, and has scored only a goal each game in their last 5 home games.
Here are few more interesting facts about both teams:
* In 40 games at White Hart Lane under Harry Redknapp, Spurs have only conceded more than one goal in one match.
* Five of Spurs’ last six home defeats have all been by a 0-1 scoreline, including the last three in a row.
* Rafael van der Vaart has scored in all six of his appearances at White Hart Lane in all competitions.
* Blackburn have committed the most fouls in the top flight (176) while Spurs have conceded the fewest (130).
Although the odds are not great for a home win, I think this is the logical choice here, due to Tottenham needing to bounce back after all of those failures at home and their position in the league moving down. Another failure will mean Tottenham to drop below the 7th spot which means no European tournaments next year.
