Birmingham City striker, Kevin Phillips, has urged his team to put in the performance of their lives for the upcoming English Premier League encounter against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. The Blues are in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 danger of being relegated from the
English top flight if they fail to produce a result against Spurs on Sunday.
Birmingham City are currently level on points with 18th and 19th placed Blackpool and Wigan Athletic respectively, and only goal difference separates the three teams. The battle to avoid the drop will now be decided on the last day
of the ongoing 2010-2011 Barclays Premier League season, and Birmingham know that they need a win to ensure their continued presence in the competition.
However, the Blues have their work cut out for them. Tottenham Hotspur will also be looking for a win to book their place in next season’s Europa League, and manager, Harry Redknapp, will be sure to field his strongest side in the hopes of ending the current
campaign on a high note.
Birmingham City striker, Kevin Phillips, knows that White Hart Lane is the one of the most daunting venues in the League, but he believes that his side has the talent necessary to come away with all three points.
Speaking ahead of the encounter, he said, “We’ve been to many places this year and got results. We did it last year, there is no reason why we can’t go to White Hart Lane and put on a performance. It has got to be the performance of our lives and we’re preparing
for that.”
Phillps urged his teammates to focus on their own job on Sunday, and to avoid looking over their shoulders at the teams that lie below them. He added, “We can’t worry about other teams, all we can do is affect our own situation. We’ve got a massive http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 to
do, but we can do it. It’s in there. We’ve got to lift ourselves and go again.”
The decisive encounter between Tottenham Hotspur and Birmingham City is set to take place on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/May-22-c39884, 2011.
