"Spurs aiming for Group A summit"

Tom Huddlestone is hoping Tottenham can seize their chance by beating Twente and go top of Group A in the Champions League.

All four teams in the group, consisting of reigning European champions Inter Milan and Werder Bremen, drew their respective opening games.
But Huddlestone is relishing the prospect of his side going top of the group by beating the Dutch champions at White Hart Lane.

The 23-year-old said: "Obviously, Twente and Inter drew their first game, so we've got a chance to take the initiative and hopefully be top of the group."
Anything less than a win will leave Harry Redknapp's men a mountain to climb for qualification into the knock-out stages but the midfielder refuses to label tonight's game as a 'must win'.
"It's only the second out of six games, so I don't think it's must-win at the minute," he said.
"But, before the tournament, you looked to probably win your three home games and if you can nick a couple of points away from home, then it's more than likely that you'll qualify."
To add to the occasion, Huddlestone could lead the side out should Ledley King fail to make it in time for the game.
"The manager said recently we are a fairly quiet team," Huddlestone said.
"Obviously, I'm getting older now and playing more games. I think the confidence comes with that and becoming a leader."
When asked if the home fans could be the twelfth-man for Spurs tonight, he is confident that will be the case.
He added: "I've played a few European games at the Lane and the atmosphere's always special, and it seems to be raised an extra 15-20 per cent for night games.
"As we saw for the second leg of the Young Boys game, the atmosphere was very good and it got us through."
