Tottenham Hotspur have every reason to feel confident ahead of tonight's Champions League match at White Hart Lane. They earned a valuable away goal in their 1-0 win over AC Milan three weeks ago, Rafael van der Vaart is now fit, and Gareth Bale returned to action on Sunday against Wolves. Spurs might be facing a team that includes Zlatan Ibrahimović, Robinho and Alexandre Pato, but they've got the man Fabio Capello himself calls, "the number one player in the world in his position." The hype around the Welsh Messi may occasionally stretch to hyperbole, but it's hard to argue that Bale is not one of the top left-sided players in the world right now.
Tottenham Hotspur Vs. AC Milan: Gareth Bale Likely To Start On Bench
The question is, will he see playing time? Bale came on to play the last 20 minutes on Sunday, but Harry Rednapp has promised not to play him if he’s not 100%. However, Rednapp has said that he’ll leave the decision up to Bale himself, and it seems highly unlikely that the winger will let this opportunity pass him by.
