Spurs striker Peter Crouch has warned anyone with pretensions on the top four that Tottenham have the firepower to blow any challengers away in the race to the Champions League. [LNB]The lanky forward got the ball rolling last weekend as Spurs humiliated Wigan with a breathtaking display of attacking football, eventually running out 9-1 winners at White Hart Lane.[LNB] Goal rush: Spurs' humiliation of Wigan was the second largest margin of victory in Premier League history[LNB]Jermaine Defoe's record-equaling five-goal haul against the Lactics was the Englishman's second hat-trick of the season. Crouch has also found the net three times in one match, against Preston North End in the Carling Cup, as has Robbie Keane against Burnley.[LNB] Tottenham travel to Villa Park in Saturday's late kick-off for a match that could give a sense of the season ahead for two teams desperate to break the monopoly of the Big Four. [LNB]Partners: Crouch and Defoe have scored 18 goals between them this season[LNB]While Crouch understands it is a very different assignment to the one presented by Wigan, the former Villa man believes Spurs have the necessary strength up front to get the result.[LNB]'We've got goalscorers, we've got players who can open defences up, and we have players who have been out injured, like Luka Modric, who can also do those things,' Crouch said.[LNB]'We all believe we've got enough ability to get in the top four. [LNB]'The football that we play at Tottenham is exciting to watch and I think the fans who pay their money should be excited by what's happening. [LNB]'The Wigan result will make people sit up and take notice, and see that Spurs are flying. If you can't take confidence from a game like that, then I don't know where you can, it's the type of match everyone wants to play in.[LNB]'Jermain Defoe scored five goals, but we have other attacking players in great form. [LNB]'Aaron Lennon, Tom Huddlestone and Niko Kranjcar have all been fantastic recently. It's a pleasure to play with those kind of players.'[LNB] Tottenham boss Redknapp prepared to splash out £4m on Rangers' BougherraWigan boss Roberto Martinez insists he is now 'bulletproof' as he watches video of Tottenham embarrassment 10 timesALL THE WEEKEND'S BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM NEWS ALL THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
