Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has revealed that he will change things up for the clash against Peterborough in the FA Cup this weekend, but warned his side that an upset isn’t impossible.

“It’s very important, it’s a big game and we want to keep winning,” Redknapp said.

“I’ll make a few changes and one or two of the lads that haven’t played recently will get a game because they have worked hard.

“Those that come in will be ready to play, I’m sure. Hopefully we can turn in another terrific performance. We’ve been in great form.”

Upsets

While he was at West Ham United, Redknapp was on the wrong side of some FA Cup upsets, and hopes to avoid those with Spurs.

“We had some real nightmares at West Ham,” he said. “I remember going to Hereford and scraping through when they were a non-league team.

“It was the year they famously beat Newcastle with that Ronnie Radford goal and that win really took the whole country by storm. We ended up winning 3-1 in a replay.

“We also lost to Mansfield. They were in the old Fourth Division and we went there for a fourth-round tie (in February 1969).

“We had Bobby Moore, Martin Peters, Geoff Hurst, Trevor Brooking and Billy Bonds and we got beaten 3-0. It’s safe to say it’s a competition like no other!

“They are all tough games and Peterborough will be the same. There are no easy games in the FA Cup, that’s for sure.”

Top four finish

Meanwhile, Tottenham find themselves in fourth place in the league, and Harry believes that they can finish the season there.

“Obviously it’s going to be difficult to finish in the top four, I’ve said that from day one, but that is the ambition,” he said.

“We have to try and believe we have a chance of doing it. It’s not going to be easy, there are top teams up there like Liverpool, Villa and Man City.

“Arsenal are in great form and Man United and Chelsea are certs to be there. We’ll give it our best shot.”
