Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is confident that Gareth Bale will be fit to face Manchester United on Sunday despite the winger suffering a
hamstring injury in midweek.
Kyle Walker is fit after recovering from an ankle injury against Arsenal last week and Redknapp is also confident that Rafael van der Vaart and Ledley King will feature.
Scott Parker is suspended following his sending off at the Emirates Stadium last weekend while long-term absentees William Gallas and Tom Huddlestone remain sidelined.
Meanwhile, Chris Smalling is Manchester United’s latest injury victim.
Smalling required stitches in a head wound sustained during England’s friendly defeat to Holland and Sir Alex Ferguson is wary of rushing the defender back too quickly.
Wayne Rooney has recovered from a throat infection but Antonio Valencia, Tom Cleverley and Michael Owen are all out.
Match Notes
Both teams lost the bulk of their squad to international duty in midweek so, working on the theory that a change is as good as a rest, this could produce a feast.
United have not lost at White Hart Lane since May 2001 and given Scott Parker’s ban coupled with Wayne Rooney’s return and all the odds point to United’s 10th away win of the season.
