Spurs bid to take advantage of Torres and Gerrard absence

TOTTENHAM manager Harry Redknapp wants his side to be the big beneficiaries of the recent cold snap when they travel to Anfield to face a Liverpool side tomorrow night without Fernando Torres or Steven Gerrard.

Spurs were due to face their rivals for a Champions League place earlier in the month but the match was postponed due to snow, with Gerrard and Torres then suffering injuries in the FA Cup defeat to Reading.

Redknapp’s own options have been bolstered by the return of Jamie O’Hara as the Premier League’s transfer embargo for Portsmouth meant the midfielder could not re-register on loan at Fratton Park.
