Jermain Defoe expects tough Bolton test

Jermain Defoe expects a tough game against Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe has said that he expects a tough game when Bolton Wanderers travel to White Hart Lane in the FA Cup this weekend.

Defoe, whose side beat Bolton 3-0 in the Premier League earlier this season, admits that Spurs are expecting a different Trotters side to make the trip to London this afternoon after reaching the semi-finals a season ago.

"It's going to be a tough game against Bolton," he said. "The FA Cup brings out the best in teams.

"We beat them in the league here earlier in the season, but they had a player sent off that day so it's difficult to use that as a marker for tonight.

"We have to concentrate on our own performance. It's down to us as to do our jobs and I'm confident if we can do that."

Meanwhile, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has said that finishing in the top four places in the Premier League this season "is not a must".
