Danny Rose looking forward to Jesus Navas test

Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose admits that he is looking forward to the challenge of facing Manchester City winger Jesus Navas.

Danny Rose has admitted that he will have to be on top of his game to get the better of Jesus Navas when Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

After drawing criticism for much of the season, Navas has impressed for City in recent weeks, and Rose is excited by the challenge of causing problems for the Spanish winger.

"We want to make teams worry about us, to keep the ball as much as possible and it will be no different at the weekend," the left-back, who is set to return from a hamstring injury, told the club's website.

"There won't be too many times where I look at an opponent and worry what he's going to do but that might be different against Navas because he's been in good form of late.

"I'll still play my game, try to get forward and try to come up with an assist or hopefully a goal. At the same time, I'll have to be careful with Navas because he's very dangerous."

Spurs have conceded 15 goals in their last three games against City.
