In a very unexpected title race, we look at five former Tottenham stars who can do their former club a huge favour.League leaders Leicester are on the verge of making history, but they are anything but over the line yet, as Manchester United fans will testify, having seen their side incredibly chased down by Manchester City in 2012.Spurs lead the chasing pack, and with a seven-point gap to make up, theyll need all the help they can get in their quest for a first Premier League crown themselves. We look at five former Spurs stars who can lend a helping hand and help ruin the Foxes fairy tale.Gylfi Sigurdsson Gylfi Sigurdsson could be most influential in helping Spurs title bid After impressing on-loan with Swansea in 2011/12, Iceland international Gylfi Sigurdsson looked set to make his stay in south Wales permanent, before Spurs swooped in with a last-gasp bid of around £9m to secure his services.The move didnt really pay off, and the attacking midfielder was soon back where his Premier League story started, and is arguably the Swans most pivotal component in their fight for survival.And, in helping his current side stay afloat, Sigurdsson could make his biggest contribution to Spurs - attempting to beat Leicester when Swansea travel to the King Power Stadium on April 24, live on Sky Sports. Will Bendtner ever learn? Nicklas Bendtners Wolfsburg issues The match is most likely one of Leicesters more winnable games, but until safety is mathematically certain, the Swans will not be pushovers, especially with Sigurdsson in their arsenal.Jermain Defoe Jermain Defoe scored 48 league goals for Tottenham Sunderlands hopes of survival rest with Jermain Defoe. He has scored four times as many goals as anyone else in the Black Cats squad, but the former Spurs striker can do serious damage to his former sides rivals simultaneously.Sam Allardyces side host Leicester on Super Sunday, where even a point will do Sunderland the world of good, and give the chasing pack hope that all is not lost. Then, with Arsenal needing to earn maximum points to close the imposing gap at the top, Sunderland could effectively end Arsene Wengers hopes of a late title tilt - pleasing Spurs fans in more ways than one - when the Black Cats welcome the Gunners to the Stadium of Light on April 24.Michael Carrick Michael Carrick could help his former club out It is easy to forget that Michael Carrick played for two other top flight clubs before Manchester United, having plied his trade at Old Trafford for so long, but Carrick made the jump from promising youngster to potential Roy Keane successor while at White Hart Lane.With Bastian Schweinsteiger injured, the United veteran is likely to be Louis van Gaals midfield anchor as United toil for a top four spot.And, in a strange turn of events, rather than being the team chasing the title, United welcome Leicester to Old Trafford on May 1, live on Sky Sports, with the visitors the ones gunning for the Premier League crown.The Foxes have thrived through playing counter-attacking football, and Carricks main task will be to dictate tempo so that Claudio Ranieris side are stifled, thus opening the door for Spurs, should they still be in the race at that point.Emmanuel Adebayor Emmanuel Adebayor taunted Arsenal fans when at Man City In a colourful career, Emmanuel Adebayor enjoyed some of his most fruitful years at White Hart Lane, before falling out of favour and being released in September.Adebayor is now with struggling Crystal Palace, looking to resurrect his career, and having a notoriously fractious relationship with Arsenal fans since his departure in 2009, the enigmatic striker would love nothing more than to end the Gunners title hopes.He will get an opportunity to do just that when Palace travel to Arsenal on May 17, live on Sky Sports, helping the Eagles steer clear of the bottom three in the process.Aaron Lennon Aaron Lennon has enjoyed a revival at Everton Having spent ten years in north London, falling out of favour at Spurs must have knocked Aaron Lennons confidence a great deal, but he has done a fine job of rejuvenating himself at Everton.With some talented attacking players at his disposal, Roberto Martinezs persistence with Lennon is testament to the England internationals ability, and such quality could have a big say in the title race.Leicester host the Toffees on May 7, live on Sky Sports, and with only two games to go after the King Power encounter, the fixture could well be make or break for the Foxes.Everton have previous in this scenario, coming back from the dead to draw 4-4 at Old Trafford, paving the way for City to overtake their rivals, and Lennons pace on the counter could help instigate a similar late revival for his former club.Also See:How could City line up?English football permutationsWhen can Leicester win the title?Rise of Wes Morgan?Cheap Michael Jordan Jersey . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at .

Wake Forest is winning, and the way the Demon Deacons beat Syracuse 28-9 on Saturday night was methodical.John Wolford ran for two touchdowns and a career-best 94 yards, and threw for 140 yards to lead Wake Forest (5-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).Wolford was 13 of 22 and scored from the 7 and 37-yard line in the second quarter. Cade Carney, a freshman who had missed the three previous games with a knee injury, added 104 yards rushing on 29 carries, including a fourth-quarter touchdown for the Demon Deacons.Cameron Glenn returned a fumble 83 yards for a TD with 1:30 remaining to seal it for Wake Forest.We played really well defensively. We were concerned because the other Power 5 teams weve played have thrown the ball and got off to fast starts, said Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson. We preached fast start all week.Dontae Strickland carried 13 times for 74 yards and a score to lead the Orange (2-4, 0-2). Eric Dungey was 16 of 25 for 156 yards passing.The game was played through the outer bands of Hurricane Matthew, with a steady rain through the first half.In the first half we drove the ball consistently in those conditions, Wolford said. And then we had the drive in the fourth quarter. Its good to be able to close out games like we did tonight.Syracuse forced a safety on the Deacons opening drive. Dungeys pass from the Wake Forest 12 was picked off by Amari Henderson in the end zone with a second left in the first half and the Deacons leading 14-9.We knew when the game started, with the weather the game was going to come down to turnovers and who was able to execute and stay patient the longest, Syracuse coach Dino Babers said. We had some costly turnovers, three-and-outs, and some bad situations. Those really forced us to do soome things down the stretch to put it back in their favor.ddddddddddddWake Forest paid tribute to late alumnus Arnold Palmer with a pregame video tribute and his trademark umbrella logo painted at the 50-yard line.THE TAKEAWAYSYRACUSE: The Orange had their four-game win streak snapped against the Demon Deacons, and have lost four of its last five games. Syracuse could not move the ball consistently, picking up just two first downs in the first quarter and none in the third.WAKE FOREST: The Demon Deacons are 5-1 for just the eighth time in the program, their first since 2006. The 1944 team started 7-0. Wolford managed a solid game despite indicating pain in his right throwing hand for most of the second half.It was a stinger, Wolford said. Ive had those before. That was why I was shaking my hand. I think the rain affected my passes, too. Ive got to make some of those throws that I missed.PLAY OF THE DAYIt was Hendersons first career interception, which kept the Orange from stealing the lead at halftime, or for that matter scoring anymore points. The redshirt freshman, who was in on four tackles, has broken up six passes.STAT LINEWake Forest senior linebacker Marquel Lee had a career-best 15 tackles, included 12 solo tackles and a pair of sacks. We knew they like to go fast, and we had to punch them in the mouth and force some three-and-outs and get them off the field, Lee said.UP NEXTSYRACUSE: The Orange host No. 25 Virginia Tech on Saturday, then travel to Boston College on Oct. 22. The Orange have their bye-week before their last four ACC contests.WAKE FOREST: The Deacons travel next Saturday to No. 23 Florida State.
