LAST TIME AT WHITE HART LANE: Tottenham 2 Portsmouth 1 (Premier League 01-10-2006) First half goals from Danny Murphy and Jermain Defoe proved enough to see off Pompey.
HEAD TO HEAD: Spurs 16 wins, Portsmouth 11 wins, and 14 draws.
FORM: 'Arry's Pompy side have won four of their last five games, and currently lie sixth in the table. European football is a realistic prospect for coast side, unlike their North London opponents who find themselves stranded in eleventh place. However, Spurs won 1-0 in the last encounter between the two, and will be buoyed by a high scoring display against title contender's Chelsea.
DANGER MAN: With ex-Spurs striker Jermain Defoe unable to play because of a Premier League ruling about his move from White Hart Lane, the goal scoring duties are likely to full on to the shoulders of former Arsenal forward Kanu (pictured above). The big African does only have five goals though this term.
FUN FACT: Formed in 1898, Portsmouth's first kit was salmon pink with maroon socks. It was changed in 1909.
