Goal crazy Tottenham are ready for anyone, warns Peter Crouch

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. 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. Goal rush: Spurs' humiliation of Wigan was the second largest margin of victory in Premier League historyJermaine 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. 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. Partners: Crouch and Defoe have scored 18 goals between them this seasonWhile 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.'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.'We all believe we've got enough ability to get in the top four. '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. '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.'Jermain Defoe scored five goals, but we have other attacking players in great form. 'Aaron Lennon, Tom Huddlestone and Niko Kranjcar have all been fantastic recently. It's a pleasure to play with those kind of players.' 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
