Tottenham midfielder Steed Malbranque returns from suspension for the second leg of the Carling Cup semi-final against Arsenal.

Ledley King was rested at the weekend to protect his knee and could return for the White Hart Lane clash, with the tie poised at 1-1.

Didier Zokora is on international duty and Chris Gunter is cup-tied. Gareth Bale (foot), Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) and Anthony Gardner (ankle) are out, Darren Bent (knee) has been out recently and would be likely to miss out if he was fit.
