Defensive duo out for Spurs

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will be without Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate for the Barclays Premier League clash against Everton at Goodison Park.

King has been troubled by a hamstring injury and Woodgate is struggling to shake off a groin complaint, meaning they join Luka Modric on the sidelines.

Niko Kranjcar is back after being cup-tied for the midweek Carling Cup defeat at Manchester United.

Provisional squad: Gomes, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Corluka, Bassong, Huddlestone, Lennon, Keane, Palacios, Jenas, Crouch, Defoe, Alnwick, Hutton, Bentley, Bale, Rose, Pavlyuchenko, Naughton, Kranjcar.
