Jermain Defoe has a tight hamstring while Peter Crouch has taken a knock to his ankle and both will require a check - but David Bentley should be fit despite tightness in his groin. Aaron Lennon (groin) is out, Ledley King is struggling with a thigh complaint, while Jonathan Woodgate (groin) and Carlo Cudicini (wrist/pelvis) are long-term absentees. Spurs (from): Gomes, Alnwick, Corluka, Walker, Bale, Assou-Ekotto, Dawson, Bassong, Kaboul, Dervite, Huddlestone, Jenas, Palacios, Bentley, Kranjcar, Modric, Defoe, Crouch, Gudjohnsen, Pavlyuchenko, Rose.
