Crouch back for Spurs

Peter Crouch is available for tomorrow’ s north London derby against Arsenal after returning from the suspension that ruled him out of Tottenham’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid.

Steven Pienaar (groin) and Niko Kranjcar (foot) could play some part after making good progress in their injury treatment but Wilson Palacios and Alan Hutton (both knee) are still out.

Jonathan Woodgate (calf) and Ledley King (groin) have been training with Tottenham’s fitness coaches but are unlikely to be involved in tomorrow’s match at White Hart Lane.

Provisional squad: Gomes, Cudicini, Pletikosa, Corluka, Assou-Ekotto, Bassong, Gallas, Dawson, Kaboul, Lennon, Kranjcar, Pienaar, Huddlestone, Sandro, Modric, Jenas, Rose, Bale, Van der Vaart, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch.
