Defenders doubtful for Spurs

Tottenham full-backs Pascal Chimbonda and Young-Pyo Lee picked up knocks during the UEFA Cup clash against Anderlecht and will need to be assessed ahead of the Barclays Premier League clash against Manchester City.

Ledley King (knee), Ricardo Rocha (ankle), Anthony Gardner (ankle), Gareth Bale (foot) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) are already missing from Spurs’ defence.
