  • Exactly six years on from Tottenham's last appearance in a cup final, Juande Ramos has a chance to win his first trophy in England, presumably way ahead of schedule. The 5-1 hammering of Arsenal, mirroring one over Chelsea at the same stage in 2002, means Spurs go into this with more than a little confidence. No longer are the 'big' teams to be feared; put simply, if Woodgate, Hutton, Jenas and Berbatov play to their potential, it will almost certainly be Avram Grant with the bigger headache of the two managers. Chelsea's fine run of late has seen them consolidate third place in the Premier League, with Nicolas Anelka settling well and Alex proving impressive in defence. But finding the net is hardly a speciality and Spurs are still among the Premier League's leading scorers. Likely to be fiery, bound to be fun. Ben Duckworth
