England, FA Cup
VS
FA Cup, fifth-round replay
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 – 20.00 GMT
Tottenham Hotspur
- This replay is a burden to Harry Redknapp’s side, with important fixtures against Everton and Manchester City on the horizon;
- But with so many big teams already out of the competition, Spurs will be looking at least to enter the final of the FA Cup;
- The 3:0 win over Wigan should serve as a big boost for their confidence and the hosts should have an easy job against Bolton’s shaky defence;
- Roman Pavluchenko probably will get the chance to start after the great substitute appearance against Wigan;
- Aaron Lennon has suffered a further setback in his recovery from a groin problem, so David Bentley will have another chance to take his place at the right wing;
Bolton Wanderers
- With Bolton battling against relegation, a replay vs Tottenham is the last thing that Owen Coyle is worried about;
- The Trotters have not won at White Hart Lane since 2004, and he is likely to rest a few players for this midweek match, ;
- Jack Wilshire and Vladamir Weiss are cup-tied having already featured in the FA Cup;
- The Trotters will also be without the injured Gary Cahill, Chris Basham, Gavin McCann , Sean Davis and Joey O’Brien, although Croatian striker Ivan Klasnic is set to return from a injury;
- They failed to score in every one of their last four away games, even if they have numerous clear-cut chances against Blackburn
