Tottenham's players are expecting teammate Jermain Defoe to carry on his scoring form this weekend.

Spurs face Aston Villa at the weekend and are looking to maintain momentum in the Barclays Premier League after thrashing Wigan 9-1 on Sunday, when Defoe scored five goals.

Fellow striker Peter Crouch told Spurs TV Online: "Anyone who scores five goals in a Premier League match deserves the headlines.

"He's always been a fantastic finisher when you give him a chance. With the way the boys were passing it around against Wigan, there is no-one better in that position to put them away."
