Having been held to a 0-0 draw in their first match, Tottenham Hotspur host Stevenage in an FA Cup replay at White Hart Lane. Here, Sports Mole previews the match.

Having played out a goalless draw in their initial fifth-round match at Broadhall Way, Tottenham Hotspur entertain League One outfit Stevenage in an FA Cup replay at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.

With the 3-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday virtually ruling his side out of the Premier League title race, Harry Redknapp will be keen to progress to the last eight of the competition, which he will see as a realistic opportunity for silverware.

Bearing that in mind, the Spurs boss is likely to name a strong side. Aaron Lennon may be rested after only recently returning from injury, but Jermain Defoe and Michael Dawson could start.

Scott Parker is still suspended following his red card in the North London derby against Arsenal last weekend, while Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart are unlikely to be risked.

Stevenage boss Gary Smith is able to call on new loan signing Jordan Slew, who made his debut for the club in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Exeter City.

Current form:

Stevenage: DDLLDW
Tottenham: LLDWDW

Possible line-ups:

Tottenham: Cudicini; Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Kranjcar, Livermore, Sandro, Rose; Defoe, Saha.

Stevenage: Day; Laird, Charles, Ashton, Roberts; Wilson, Byrom, Bostwick, Shroot; Reid, Slew.

Sports Mole says: 2-0
