But it's a tough week and gives me the chance to look at one or two players.' [LNB]Ferguson serves another touchline ban for his comments about referee Alan Wiley, but Redknapp does not believe it will make a difference. [LNB]'I don't think it will affect the team,' added Redknapp. 'All the shouting and the screaming in the world makes no difference. Him being on the touchline won't make a difference. It didn't make a difference at Portsmouth on Saturday.' [LNB]
