Tottenham defender Jonathan Woodgate believes a Carling and UEFA Cup double could be on for the north London club this season.

The England international only arrived at White Hart Lane last month from Middlesbrough but could make his new Wembley debut in Sunday's Carling Cup Final meeting with Chelsea.

The 28-year-old has also joined a club that is looking for a place in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup.

Spurs face Slavia Prague on Thursday in a last 32 second leg tie with a 2-1 lead from the first meeting last week.

Referring to a possible cup double, Woodgate said: "It's possible. I'd like to think so and that's why I joined the club, especially with the players and the manager we've got. We can produce and, if we produce on the day, we can beat teams.

"There are some great sides left in like Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid, but we are a good side as well and I think teams will be wanting us out of the draw.

"I'd take anything to be honest. It's on your CV - UEFA Cup, Carling Cup, Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, whatever. It's a winners' medal at the end of the day. It gives you a taste of the winning mentality."
