Former Slavia trainee Tomáš Pekhart, a forward, is also at Tottenham, signing a contract in March 2006. • Versatile central defender Marek Suchý also spent a spell on trial at Tottenham in 2006. • The two sides already knew each other well before the first leg, with Tottenham having knocked Slavia out of the first round of the 2006/07 UEFA Cup 2-0 on aggregate. Jermaine Jenas scored the winner in the first leg in Prague while Keane sealed a second 1-0 success at White Hart Lane. • Of the Slavia players who appeared in both of the previous matches against Tottenham many are still at the club, along with coach Karel Jarolím. Matúš Kozáčik, Lukáš Jarolím, Pavel Fořt, Stanislav Vlček, Tomáš Hrdlička, Michal Švec and Tomáš Necid have since moved on. • Of the players that played against Slavia for Tottenham, Mido, Edgar Davids, Danny Murphy, Reto Ziegler, Calum Davenport, Hossam Ghaly, Jermain Defoe, Paul Stalteri and coach Martin Jol have since left. • Tottenham manager Juande Ramos had also already come up against Slavia this season with his former club Sevilla FC, earning a 4-2 UEFA Champions League home win in his penultimate European game with the UEFA Cup holders before taking up his post in London. • Slavia have now played seven games against English sides, winning one, drawing one and losing five. They have lost all three of their previous games in England without scoring.
