Preview for match: Tottenham vs Bolton

Tottenham host Bolton at White Hart Lane on Saturday at 3pm, with Bolton desperate for a victory which would surely somehow rescue them from the Premiership drop. Tottenham have been out of sorts lately, and Juande Ramos is keen to try out young players for preparation for next year. Spurs signed Luka Modric this morning which signals Ramos' intent.

Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson has been back in full training, while Pascal Chimbonda (calf) and Jonathan Woodgate (ankle) are also in contention ahead of the clash.

Ledley King (knee), Gareth Bale (foot) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto remain out for the rest of the season.

Joey O'Brien returns from a three-week absence for Bolton's crucial survival battle. Greg Rasiak should return from an eye injury in place of the suspended Kevin Davies.

Squads

Tottenham (from): Robinson, Cerny, Forecast, Hutton, Chimbonda, Woodgate, Dawson, Zokora, O'Hara, Lennon, Huddlestone, Jenas, Malbranque, Keane, Bent, Berbatov, Tainio, Gilberto, Rocha, Lee, Kaboul, Boateng, Taarabt, Gunter.

Bolton (from): Al Habsi, Steinsson, Andrew O'Brien, Cahill, Samuel, Nolan, Cohen Campo, McCann, Taylor, Rasiak, Diouf, Guthrie, Giannakopoulos, Fojut, Joey O'Brien, Alonso, Helguson, Walker.

Megson: work to do

"We have had two good wins on the bounce; we have given ourselves an opportunity.

"No one is getting carried away we still have work to do.

"It is no coincidence that we've picked up since Kevin Nolan came back from suspension. He has been leading from the front and making sure that everyone gives their all."
