Pleat not worried by City goal drought

Last updated : 03 December 2003 By Jonathan Blain
David Pleat has admitted that he is not concerned by Manchester City's recent goal-shy performances and is confident that his own front men will do the business. City have failed to score in their last four matches, something that nobody could have imagined just a few months ago when the goals were flying in. However, Pleat is concentrating solely on his own goal threat and has once again defended Portuguese striker Helder Postiga who is yet to break his goal duck, said Pleat, 'Sooner or later Helder is going to hit the net'. He also mentioned the danger that Robbie Keane poses adding that he could well 'explode'.

With Paolo Wanchope out injured, Kevin Keegan will be relying on Nicolas Anelka and Robbie Fowler for ammunition, two strikers that have scored their fair share of goals against Spurs defences. The game should be a tense affair with a place in the Quarter-Finals at stake, just two victories from Cardiff and three from European qualification.
