The England striker, who could be your player of the year [vote here], has scored vital goals recently against Bolton and Chelsea, and is confident the JJB Stadium will prove to be a tough place for Tottenham Hotspur, who visit on Saturday.

Heskey said, "We have been doing really well at home recently so we will approach them with confidence and hopefully we can get something out of it. The spirit is really up at the minute and the lads are raring to go."

The former Liverpool and Birmingham man also said that the point taken from the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Monday night has taken a bit of pressure off, although the squad will always remained focused.

"It was nice to get the goal and the point that take us further away from the relegation zone. We always try to have a never say die attitude whether its at the beginning or the very end of the match. We keep going until the referee blows the whistle.

We never gave up and Koumas produced the best cross of the game for me to put it away."
