Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone and defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto will both miss the visit of Blackpool due to injury.

Croatia international Vedran Corluka is unlikely to play after suffering a hamstring injury in last week's defeat by Chelsea.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has no fresh injury concerns.

Striker James Beattie has recovered from the illness that kept him out of last week's draw against Stoke.

MATCH PREVIEW
Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston said this week that he wants Ian Holloway to stay on as manager even if the club are relegated. With three games to go, including a trip to Manchester United on the final day of the season, Blackpool are just above the bottom three on goal difference and it is easy to understand why Oyston is contemplating a future outside of the top flight.

The Seasiders finished last season with a surge, winning six of their last eight Championship league games to clinch the final play-off spot. This season tells a very different story; Blackpool were ninth after beating Liverpool in January, but have won just once since.

That win was against Tottenham, who have also found victories hard to come by recently. Spurs went in to the Blackpool match in February in fourth place but a run of one win in eight games has all but ended their hopes of a Champions League spot next season.

Last week's 2-1 defeat at Chelsea was extremely unlucky though, given that Frank Lampard's equaliser did not cross the line. Spurs manager Harry Rednapp and Ian Holloway have both called for video technology to be introduced. "Let's get every decision right and we'll all be buzzing," Holloway said.

LOL I shall be making a note of this Arnie . . . . .

Please do Vis lol ...My sources tell me all is not well between Harry & Azza ........

Apparently he cant give up the cigars , Harry has had the hump with him regarding his attitude, like the one where Harry having made his three substitutions, Azza then limps off with just over ten minutes to go leaving us down to 10 players and we lose the game too ....


And then there is the Madrid scapegoat ....


And then there is Damien Comoli at Liverpool ..


Hope Im wrong about this but its the whisper at the Lodge thats getting louder


Oh and the Hulk is gonna be his replacement

Is the Hulk the Portugese lad Arnie ?
