Goal
GOAL:Tottenham 2-2 Reading: (63mins) Immediate impact from Defoe who crosses low into the box and Murty makes a mess of it and only turns it into the path of Berbatov who slots it home with consumate ease.
62
Reading have had a bucketful of chances in the last 30 seconds but all of them have failed to find the back of net, will that cost them?
61
Substitution
Ledley King is off here to be replaced by Jermaine Defoe - who always scores when he comes off the bench.
60
Kitson is in behind again here but this time his first touch is poor and that allows Robinson to get off his line and clear.
58
The fans are calling for Defoe and the management look like they may be responding as the England man warms up on the touchline.

48
Spurs concede an early free kick in a dangerous position and they fail to clear from Shorey and Kitson drives it back in and its is deflected just wide of the post.
Second half
The two teams are back for the second half as they look to end the year on a high note but which team will be able to finish the job as the second period gets underway.
Half time
HT:Tottenham 1-1 Reading: A decent 1st half that Reading have possibly enjoyed the better of but the scores are level at the break after another Robinson howler
45
Right on the break Robbie Keane wastes a brilliant chance to put Spurs back in front after superb play from Berbatov presents him with a chance he really should not have missed.
43
Considering the fact that Reading have enjoyed the better of this we have not really seen the Royals strike force of Doyle and Kitson.
41
Ledley King with a superb little dink over the heads of the Royals back four for Berbatov and his cross looking for Keane is bundled behind by Sonko.
38
The game has got a little stop-start of late but when play is flowing it is Reading who are enjoying the better of it and Spurs are having to rely on counter attacks.
34
Shorey puts the free kick over the cross bar but the cheers of the crowd don't illustrate how close it was.
34
The ground falls silent as Spurs fans think Reading have won a penalty but its only a free kick after Lennon wipes out Convey.
30
Berbatov is in need of the magic spray after taking a knock on his ankle but the Bulgarian should be fine to continue momentarily.
27
The game still has plenty of life in it but there is little goalmouth action to comment on with the majority of the battle being fought on in the midfield areas.
24
It is amazing how different the atmosphere here is now compared to ten minutes ago, the crowd are a little flatter and the Spurs players need to get them back on their side.
20
That has given Reading renewed belief that they can take the points from this game but Paul Robinson must be wondering when things are going to completely turn around for him.
16
Goal
GOAL:Tottenham 1-1 Reading: (16mins) However with literally his first action Robinson has dropped a clanger as he pushes down Shorey's cross to the feet of the grateful Kalifa Cisse.
15
Paul Robinson has been pretty much a spectator so far with Reading really failing to get the ball into the final third.
12
Aaron Lennon almost makes it two as he uses his pace to get behind Shorey but Sonko is across in the nick of time to tackle the nippy young winger.
10
Yellow Card
Kalifa Cisse has been booked already for persistent fouling as he commits yet another offence on Lennon this time.
10
You can see the confidence oozing through this Spurs side at the moment and the passing is crisp and the movement fluid. Reading are having real problems dealing with them.
7
Goal
GOAL:Tottenham 1-0 Reading: (7mins) The front two combine brilliantly and Berbatov is free at the back post to tap home Keane's cross.
5
Dave Kitson - a huge Spurs fan apparently - has said in the build up that he would love to score at White Hart Lane and he almost gets in behind Kaboul but the young French defender makes a timely interception.
2
A lively start from the visitors with Bobby Convey seeing a couple of shots blocked by Ledley King - who gets a huge cheer everytime he gets near the ball.
Kickoff
Keith Stroud is today's official as the busy festive period passes its middle point and these two sides begin their final game of 2007.
Steve Coppell's side are a bit Jekyll and Hyde this season but the spirited draw at Upton Park on Boxing Day showed that they can still cut it with the big boys and in Doyle and Kitson they have an in form strike duo.
Awaiting Kickoff
Still no starting place for Jermaine Defoe for Spurs today as Berbatov and Keane again get the nod in attack with both looking to add to their recent goal hauls.
Awaiting Kickoff
Welcome to White Hart Lane where an dramatically improving Tottenham Hotspur entertain a Reading side who have been in an indifferent run of form of late.
