Harry fighting on two fronts

Spurs boss chasing silverware and European qualification





Harry Redknapp insists he will be doing his utmost to land the FA Cup and secure a top-four finish this term.
The Tottenham boss has his side well placed on both fronts and an impressive double remains very much on the cards.
Spurs face Bolton in an FA Cup fifth-round replay on Wednesday, and are taking the competition seriously, while they currently occupy a standing in the Premier League which would be good enough to see them into the UEFA Champions League.
Redknapp admits the league remains his priority this season, with a place at European football's top table laden with financial reward, but is adamant that he will not allow his troops to take their eye off the ball in the pursuit of domestic silverware.
He said: "I would love to do them both but it would be nice to get in the top four.
"I want to win against Bolton and I want to get to Wembley in the cup final but, certainly, finishing in the top four would be a terrific achievement from where we have come from.
"But I don't want to put that in the players' minds that they start thinking that the cup is not important and we have to try to get in the top four.
"I want us to keep focusing on winning matches, it is a big week.
"I said that to a couple of the lads. Wigan away, a cup game and Everton at home. Another good week and we can put ourselves in great shape."
Stronger

Meanwhile, Redknapp has revealed that he will once again take the opportunity to reward a few of Spurs' promising youngsters with valuable senior experience against the Trotters in midweek.
"We haven't got a big squad here, although people go on about it and say we do," he added.
"We have loaned a few players out and when I went to Leeds in the last round I had two 17-year-old kids on the bench.
"We will be a little bit stronger this time but still one or two of the youth team will get on the bench."
