Preview: Tottenham v Chelsea

Preview: Tottenham v Chelsea March 19 2008

Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson has an ankle problem and is doubtful for his side's Premier League clash with Chelsea.

Ledley King has recovered from a calf complaint but Robbie Keane has a knee injury, although Spurs are hopeful of him recovering.

Ricardo Rocha (groin) has been struggling, while Gareth Bale (foot) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) are out for the season.

Avram Grant has received a boost as goalkeeper Petr Cech could be fit enough to return to first team action against Spurs.

Cech has virtually recovered from his ankle problem and should be included in the squad.

The Blues have no fresh injury worries but Grant must decide whether to choose Nicolas Anelka or Didier Drogba to lead the attack.

Squads:

Tottenham: Robinson, Cerny, Forecast, Chimbonda, Hutton, Lee, Gilberto, Gunter, Woodgate, King, Kaboul, Dawson, Zokora, Tainio, Jenas, Malbranque, Lennon, Huddlestone, O'Hara, Boateng, Taarabt, Berbatov, Keane, Bent.

Chelsea: Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, Belletti, Carvalho, Alex, Ben-Haim, Terry, A Cole, Bridge, Ballack, Lampard, Essien, Mikel, Lampard, Shevchenko, Pizarro, Sidwell, Wright-Phillips, Malouda, Drogba, Anelka, Kalou, Makelele.
