Keane to partner Defoe in Carling Cup tie

TOTTENHAM boss Martin Jol will pair strikers Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane together against Grimsby in tonight’s Carling Cup second-round tie.

Keane was Spurs' saviour on Saturday when he came on to score a dramatic equaliser to earn a share of the spoils against Aston Villa at Villa Park.

The Republic of Ireland marksman has played second fiddle to England striker Defoe all season and, despite the suspension of Egyptian striker Mido, Keane's return has been blocked by new signing Grzegorz Rasiak.
