Dean Richards returns to the Tottenham team for the visit of Bolton in the FA Cup fourth round.

Dean Richards returns to the Tottenham team for the visit of Bolton in the FA Cup fourth round.

He missed the Worthington Cup win over Chelsea as he was cup tied, but will replace Anthony Gardner, who has an ankle injury.

Les Ferdinand will be given until Saturday morning to shake off a neck problem that saw him miss the Chelsea clash.

For Bolton, Dean Holdsworth and Paul Warhurst are both available after serving three-match bans.

However Holdsworth (thigh) and Warhurst (calf) both sustained injuries in a midweek reserve game and their fitness will be monitored overnight.

Simon Charlton is also doubtful with a calf strain while Colin Hendry and Per Frandsen have already been ruled out.

Tottenham (from): Sullivan, Taricco, King, Perry, Richards, Poyet, Anderton, Sherwood, Davies, Sheringham, Ferdinand, Rebrov, Iversen, Gardner, Leonhardsen, Thelwell, Thatcher, Etherington, Piercey, Kelly.

Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, N'Gotty, Bergsson, Diawara, Whitlow, Charlton, Barness, Warhurst, Hansen, Nolan, Southall, Gardner, Holdsworth, Wallace, Ricketts, Bobic, Pedersen, Poole.
