Tottenham v Chelsea - Carling Cup Final

Tottenham v ChelseaVenue: Wembley Stadium
Date: Sunday, 24 Feb
Kick-off: 11:00PM - Channel 22 - (Live)
Referee: Mark Halsey (Lancashire)Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard and defender John Terry could miss Sunday's Carling Cup final against Tottenham. Both players were named in the Blues squad but BBC football correspondent Jonathan Legard said: "I'm told the pair are set to be left out again."
Tottenham defender Michael Dawson and midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng are being troubled by hamstring concerns. But Pascal Chimbonda (knee) should be fit and Ledley King is set to return after a month out with a knee problem.
Skipper Terry, who broke his foot against Arsenal in December, returned to action in the FA Cup win over Huddersfield last Saturday. Midfielder Lampard also played in that game, scoring twice in a 3-1 victory, but was only brought on towards the end of Tuesday's drab Champions League draw at Olympiakos.
Spurs were also involved in European action this week, hanging on for a 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague on Thursday despite being under pressure in the latter stages. Keeper Paul Robinson pulled off a couple of good saves after being dropped for the previous 10 matches. But boss Juande Ramos refused to say afterwards whether he would get the nod at Wembley ahead of Radek Cerny.
King has not played since the semi-final win over Arsenal but he will be in the squad alongside fellow defender Alan Hutton, who was ineligible for the Slavia game.
Tottenham (from): Robinson, Cerny, Hutton, Chimbonda, Lee, Gunter, Dawson, King, Woodgate, Rocha, Kaboul, Tainio, O'Hara, Huddlestone, Zokora, Jenas, Malbranque, Lennon, Boateng, Taarabt, Bent, Keane, Berbatov.
Chelsea (from): Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, Belletti, Terry, Alex, Ben-Haim, Carvalho, A Cole, Bridge, Sidwell, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Malouda, Wright-Phillips, Drogba, Anelka, J Cole, Pizarro, Shevchenko, Kalou, Obi, Makelele.
Referee: Mark Halsey (Lancashire)

Spurs had the better of the half... But Chelsea got ahead from a Freekick...
Drogba still haven't change... That fall resulting to that freekick was really stimulated... The way he went down... Too theatrical...

Woodgate man of the match! Yea!
Ramos revolution. Really cup manager.
-
yes! spurs deserved to win anyway. I wonder why didn't Joe Cole start the match.
Mikel was crap. Well, he is crap and an arrogant one at that anyway.
-
spurs has been the more adventurous side and they deserved the win.
i dont think robinson has improved despite making those saves. chelsea made it easy for him. but at least he didnt fumble with those shots coming at him.
good to see an unusual winner this time round.
-
congrats spurs!

Spurs will be title contenders next season
