Match Preview :
No doubt this is the match we all have been waiting for as we will see England's Tottenham taking on Inter Milan in this mouth watering last 16 clash of the Europa League.
Tottenham have now moved up into third in the English Premiership, 7 points ahead of Arsenal and 2 points ahead of Chelsea. After failing to qualify for the Champions League last season, despite finishing fourth, due to Chelsea winning the Champions League, this time they are on course to finishing in the top four which will enable them to play in the Champions League.
Their form in their past few games has been nothing short of phenomenal with four straight wins and a last minute goal in Lyon in the last round of this competition saw them through in the most dramatic circumstances.
No doubt Tottenham success has been down to the form of Gareth Bale who just can't stop scoring in every match. He has scored in 7 of the 8 games he has started in. His form has been tremendous that the big clubs, such as Real Madrid are chasing to sign him next season.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan are currently fifth in Serie A but are trailing their city rivals AC Milan by just one point in the standings. They are still in the battle for the Champions League spot next season. Inter have won 3 of their last 5 matches and easily overcome a Cluj team in their last match to set up the meeting with Tottenham.
While this weekend Tottenham travels to Anfield to face Liverpool in a tough match, Inter Milan play host to Bologna in a game they are expected to win easily.
Spurs boss Andre-Villas Boas has too much experience in the Europa League to be resting players or even take this match lightly despite the big game with Liverpool on Sunday. AVB have shown he is willing to play full strength line-ups in this competition as he will want to win the competition.
