Tottenham's Harry Redknapp aiming for double with FA Cup and Champions League
Tottenham's reward will be a semi-final, at Wembley Stadium, against Portsmouth, while they are currently in the fourth spot that would make them eligible for the Champions League for the first time. [LNB]Asked if he preferred fourth spot or the FA Cup, Redknapp answered: 'Both of them. We are trying on two fronts. We could end up with two of them, one of them or none, who knows? You have to keep trying. Every game is important for us. We have tough games.

I was fortunate enough to be there last week to watch them beat Juventus. It was one of the great European performances of all time. It was a fantastic night, a great atmosphere and a great performance from Fulham.' [LNB]Spurs could lose fourth spot to Manchester City tomorrow; while they are in FA Cup action, Roberto Mancini's side play Everton in the game they have in hand and Redknapp believes the chase for fourth sport remains a four-horse race. [LNB]'I wouldn't write anybody off. I wouldn't write Villa off and I certainly wouldn't write Liverpool off. People are writing them off but I think they have got a great chance. I look at their fixtures yesterday and they have good fixtures. [LNB]'Anyone could finish fourth and anyone could finish seventh. It will be that close. We are right in the mix, but you have to look where we come from, from the start of last season to where we are now, so whatever we achieve it will have been a great season. [LNB]'I said before the Blackburn game that I would have taken 19 points (from the remaining games). Even now, in our position two points a game is almost as good as it gets. [LNB]'We have some tough games. We have Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal to play. We have to go to Sunderland and Manchester City. We certainly have the toughest fixtures but we are playing well and we have got to keep that going.' [LNB]Redknapp will re-call Wilson Palacios for the cup-tied Younes Kaboul against Fulham while Roman Pavlyuchenko is almost certainly out, meaning that Eidur Gudjohnsen is expected to start alongside Peter Crouch in attack.
