Barclays Premier League – 22nd Feb 2011 – KO 20:00 – Ground: Bloomfield Road
Rafael van der Vaart is absent for Tottenham after suffering a recurrence of his calf injury, though Luka Modric has recovered from appendicitis.
Vedran Corluka and Jonathan Woodgate both suffered injuries against AC Milan and don’t play, while Gareth Bale, Ledley King, Younes Kaboul and Tom Huddlestone remain on the sidelines.
Jermaine Jenas returns from suspension.
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway is missing a number of players for Tuesday’s Premier League clash against Tottenham at Bloomfield Road.
Midfielder Elliot Grandin is out with the hamstring injury he sustained against Aston Villa, while Stephen Crainey misses out with an ankle problem.
Brett Ormerod (groin) and Gary Taylor-Fletcher (hamstring) are also carrying knocks.
Holloway is missing goalkeepers Paul Rachubka and Matt Gilks through injury, so youngster Chris Kettings will again deputise on the bench for Richard Kingson.

COME ON LADS WE CAN AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO BEAT BLACKPOOL EVEN WITHOUT BALE AND VdeV.
HOWEVER BLACKPOOL ARE NO PUSHOVERS SO CONCENTRATION MUST LAST 95 MINUTES AT LEAST.
IF WE CAN SLOT IN 2 EARLY GOALS THE MATCH WILL BE MUCH EASIER SO IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT DEFOE STARTED TO HIT THE NETTING MORE OFTEN. SO FAR THIS YEAR HIS SCORING HAS BEEN WELL SHORT OF SATISFACTORY. GO GET ‘EM NOW JERMAIN. WE ARE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY.
FURTHERMORE A WIN AGAINST WOLVES IS ALSO A MUST SO FORGET ABOUT AC MILAN AS YOU CAN CONCENTRATE ON THEM ONCE WE HAVE PREMIER POINTS IN THE BAG.
yeah, won’t be easy game up there, but if the 2 lads in middle perform like they did last week should not be a problem
