Spurs v Middlesbrough preview
Middlesbrough travel to Tottenham looking for their back-to-back wins in the league for the first time this season. Boro ended a 14-match winless streak in the Premier League with victory over Liverpool at the weekend.The Teessiders are now within just two points of Spurs, who are looking to bounce back from their Carling Cup defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.Despite hovering just above the drop zone, Spurs have lost just once in their last five league matches.But Boro are not without any form and have conceded just two goals in their last six games in all competitions.Recent history is very much on Spurs' side at White Hart Lane as Boro have not won in North London since 2002.Team newsSpurs go into the game with a number of injury concerns.Captain Ledley King played all 120 minutes of the Carling Cup final and that has seen him ruled out of the Boro clash due to his ongoing knee problems.Former Boro star Jonathan Woodgate faces a late fitness test on the Achilles tendon injury which forced him out of the United clash.One player definitely back is Carlo Cudicini, who has overcome a knee problem.Cudicini was one of a number of players to miss the trip to Wembley because he was ineligible and becomes available to Harry Redknapp again along with Robbie Keane, Pascal Chimbonda, Wilson Palacios and Frazier Campbell.Boro boss Gareth Southgate looks set to have the luxury of naming an unchanged side for the third successive game.Defender Matthew Bates has been performing well in midfield and he is likely to keep his place alongside Julio Arca.Fit-again Andrew Taylor is set to continue on the bench, with Southgate seemingly happy with his current-back four of Justin Hoyte, David Wheater, Robert Huth and Emanuel Pogatetz.Possible starting XIsTottenham: Cudicini, Chimbonda, Corluka, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Jenas, Palacios, Modric, Keane, Bent.Middlesbrough: Jones, Hoyte, Huth, Wheater, Pogatetz, O'Neil, Downing, Arca, Bates, Tuncay, Aliadiere.
