Preview: FA Cup - Stevenage vs. Tottenham Hotspur

FA Cup - Stevenage vs. Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur will have to overcome League One side Stevenage this weekend in order to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

The Boro have no fresh injury concerns ahead of their clash with Spurs at Broadhall Way on Sunday, which indicates that manager Gary Smith is likely to keep the same team that defeated Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 on Tuesday.

Goalkeeper Chris Day is expected to start against his former club with goalscorer Scott Laird keeping his spot in defence.

Harry Redknapp has revealed that playmaker Rafael van der Vaart will miss the fixture due to a calf injury but January signing Louis Saha should start up front for Spurs following his dream debut against Newcastle United.

Ledley King is expected to be rested, which could pave the way for defender Ryan Nelsen, who is yet to make his first start for the North London side.

Current form:

Stevenage: WWDWWW Tottenham: WDLWLW

Possible lineups:

Stevenage: Day; Laird, Charles, Ashton, Roberts; Henry, Wilson, Byrom, Freeman; Bostwick, Beardsley

Tottenham: Friedel; Rose, Nelsen, Dawson, Walker; Livermore, Parker, Kranjcar, Lennon; Defoe, Saha

Sports Mole says: 0-3
