Emmanuel Adebayor Set To Face Arsenal

Emmanuel Adebayor, who was carried off on a stretcher during Tottenham Hotspur's 2-1 win at Manchester United on New Year's Day, is fit and will start against his former club Arsenal in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.
.
That was not the only good news for Spurs on the injury front as Jermain Defoe, Andros Townsend and Lewis Holtby were all back in training on Friday after being sidelined with various ailments.
.
"How important will Adebayor be tomorrow? It's huge," said Tottenham's new manager Tim Sherwood, who has revitalised the side since taking over from the sacked Andre Villas-Boas last month.
.
"I think if Arsene Wenger saw him limping off at Old Trafford, I'm sure there were a lot of pleased Arsenal fans and management and players.
.
"But, unfortunately, he's going to be walking out against them tomorrow.
.
"It didn't look great did it when he came off on that stretcher but he is a warrior. There is no holding him back at the moment."
.
The fact Adebayor will play, having recovered from "various cramps", is a big boost for Spurs after the 29-year-old Togolese has scored four goals in the five matches he has played since his return.
.
Last season at Arsenal he scored twice to give Spurs the lead and was then sent off seven minutes later as the Gunners exploited his absence to end up 5-2 winners in a league match.
.
Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger offered some grudging praise for the Gunners' fiercest rivals, who they meet in the Cup for the first time since beating them 2-1 in the semifinals in 2001.
.
"They won at Manchester United and they played very well, but Man United have been a bit more vulnerable at home this season and they took full advantage of that playing with good pace going forward," he said in his pre-match news conference.
