7 hours before the new Premier League season kicks off - and there's excitement aplenty.
Transfer window activity has led to heightened speculation and numerous questions arising: is Chelsea, with coach Ancelotti at the helm, the favourite, will Valencia and Owen be able to replace Ronaldo at Man U, can any of the promoted clubs stay up, is Arsenal a shadow of its former self, will it all go tits up at Eastlands?
Tottenham fans will also be keen to have a few of their own questions answered: how is David Bentley still at the football club, will Gareth Bale or the Ghetto Prince ever step foot on a football pitch again, can John Bostock break into the first team, will Robbie Keane throw his toys out of his pram, just how good can Luka Modric become?
Sunday brings a title contender, Liverpool, to White Hart Lane for our season opener. Rafa Benitez is likely to be without influential talisman Steven Gerrard, while the home side may have their three first choice centre backs missing.
It should be scrappy, and then eventually entertaining. I am predicting 2-2 - and Spurs to finish fifth
, with Defoe bagging 20 and an England starting role.
