Livermore set for Spurs role

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp could be without up to six midfielders for tomorrow night’s Europa League play-off first leg at Hearts.

Sandro, Wilson Palacios (both knee) Steven Pienaar, Luka Modric (both groin) and Jermaine Jenas (Achilles) are all out while Tom Huddlestone is a doubt with an ankle problem, meaning that 21-year-old Jake Livermore is almost certain to start just his second game for Spurs.
