Tottenham Hotspur were not scheduled to play a Premier League match over the weekend as they were trying to defend their Carling Cup title against the mighty Manchester United in the final at Wembley Stadium. Prior to the Carling Cup final Tottenham Hotspur had won their last Premier League match over Hull City by a score of 1-2. The side managed by Harry Redknapp are now in 14th place of the league table with 28 points.
Middlesbrough came up with the surprise result of the weekend when they defeated Liverpool at home by a score of 2-0 at Riverside Stadium. That win helped make up for the 2 points dropped at home in their previous match to Wigan Athletic which had ended in a 0-0 draw. Gareth Southgate's side now have 26 points on the year but remain in the relegation zone of the league table, in 18th place and just behind Blackburn Rovers.
Boro have 3 injury concerns this week in Digard, Riggott and Taylor who are all set to miss out.
