Clean Kingsize Sheet

Ledley King is looking at shutting Newcastle United out on Sunday and making it Tottenham's 10th clean sheet of the season.

Spurs have so far stopped Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal from finding the net this season and as King tells the clubs official website, its easier to stop the goals than it is to score them.

"As a defender you want to keep clean sheets and we've done well this season," reflected Ledley, a key player in that record. "We've not conceded many goals at home and we know if we keep a clean sheet we'll have a great chance of winning.

"With the players we have, we're always going to create chances and that was the case against West Ham.

"In the first half it was a little too open, they looked dangerous on the counter and that was their best chance of scoring, so we had to tighten up in the second half.

"We did that and we've top quality forwards who we know can always score goals.

"Roman came off the bench to score the winner and that shows the depth of strength in the squad. Jermain (Defoe) is close to coming back as well, so it's looking good."

"We're taking it one game at a time, we're in good form, playing well and we have to keep it going until the end of the season," he added.

"The fans have helped us make it a fortress here but Newcastle are fighting for their lives, so we expect another tough game."
