Villa defender Dunne wary of Tottenham scoring power

Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne admits weekend opponents Tottenham are stacked with scoring power.

Dunne is relishing the defensive battle against Tottenham's attacking midfielders and strikers at White Hart Lane.

He told Villa's website: "They can call upon any different combination of strikers and attacking midfielders.

"Robbie Keane doesn't even get on the pitch much now and he's a striker that's always difficult to mark because of the positions he picks up on the pitch.

"[Rafael] Van der Vaart has come in and is playing a similar sort of role. [Roman] Pavyluchenko is starting to score goals.

"There is a threat from everywhere. Gareth Bale has been one of the best players around in the last year and is dangerous too.

"We know it's going to be difficult and defensively it's going to be very hard for whoever plays."
