Spurs have prepared for tomorrow's UEFA Cup last-32 clash in the Czech capital with a hectic January, while Jarolim's side have not played in their league since the start of December.

Cerny: warm welcome at his old club

"We are starting our season after two months, Tottenham will be in better rhythm without a break but we are looking forward to the game," said Jarolim.

"The base of a good result is not conceding goals - if we score one it will be fantastic."

Spurs, by contrast, approach the tie in good physical condition following Spanish manager Juande Ramos's recent regime of double training sessions and removal of all fatty foods from the players' diet.

Jarolim highlighted the potential danger of Spurs strikers Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane, although he also mentioned Aaron Lennon and Steed Malbranque as threats from the flanks.

"Keane and Berbatov are very good players but it is not only them who are providing attacking options for them - the wide players do it as well," he added.

Spurs goalkeeper Radek Cerny is returning to his former club, and Jarolim predicts a warm response from Slavia fans.

"The reception will be positive, the fans remember him and I think they will welcome him as a returning player," Jarolim added.
