Tottenham Hotspur is banking on in-form striker Dimitar Berbatov to see them through against the champion Sevilla in the crucial UEFA Cup tie. After joining Spurs this season, Berbatov has played really well in European competition but his domestic form in English Premier League is patchy to say the least.

According to Berbatov,

My record in the UEFA Cup is good and hopefully I can continue that because we want to go all the way to the final. It will be difficult in Spain because Sevilla are a good team and play very good technical football but if we can take our chances then a goal or two out there will be very good for us. That will be difficult but I am an optimist and hope we can do that.

The 26-year-old Bulgarian striker has so far scored seven times in six UEFA Cup matches this season and if his and Keane partnership clicks, Sevilla will be in trouble. That is where the role of Sevilla goalkeeper Andres Palop will be crucial, who will be there in the starting line up despite a mild leg strain.
