Watch Stevenage Borough v Tottenham Hotspur live stream 2/19/2012
Tottenham travel to Stevenage on Sunday as they bid to reach the last eight in the FA Cup, but Harry Redknapp’s team will have to keep their wits about them as they face a lower-league team in form and ready for a giant-killing.
In terms of injury news, Redknapp has a few problems to think about. Rafael van der Vaart (calf), David Bentley (knee), Tom Huddlestone (ankle), Jermaine Jenas (achilles), Sandro (calf) and William Gallas (calf) have all been ruled out by Spurs.
Younes Kaboul and Ledley King (both knee) could also miss out, but will face late fitness tests after initially being named in the squad for the 30-mile trip, while Louis Saha is not cup-tied, despite it being widely reported that he is, while Ryan Nelsen looks set for his first start.
Stevenage manager Gary Smith's squad will be at almost full strength on Sunday. The former Arsenal scout has no injury concerns to think about, although Chuks Aneke – who is on-loan from the Gunners – is ineligible due to the stipulations in his temporary contract at the club.
