Tottenham Hotspur travel to League one outfit Stevenage in Sunday’s FA Cup fifth-round encounter with a place in the quarter-finals at the stake.
The clash will be the first team the two teams have met at a competitive level with the home side hoping to cause a major upset and reach the last eight of the prestigious competition.
Both teams are currently on an impressive run of form in their respective leagues with Stevenage winning 15 of their last 16 games.
Meanwhile, high flying Spurs have lost just four Premiership games all season and are in with an outside shout to pick up their first top flight Championship since 1961.
However, Harry Redknapp will be forced to make the trip Broadhall Way without Rafael Van der Vaart. The Dutchman hasn’t featured for the North Londoners since their 3-1 win over Wigan Athletic last month with a calf problem and remains a doubt for the North London derby the following weekend.
The veteran tactician may call upon returning quartet Aaron Lennon, Jermain Defoe, Sandro and Younes Kaboul after all four returned to full fitness following spells on the sidelines.
Tom Huddlestone and David Bentley will miss out and are expected to sit out the remainder of the campaign.
Potential starting XI
Cudicini; Livermore, Kaboul, Nelsen, Rose; Lennon, Sandro, Modric, Kranjcar; Defoe, Adebayor
