Tottenham Hotspur Won't Sit Back Against Manchester United - Harry Redknapp

'Arry has declared that his Spurs stars won't be afraid to attack the Mancs when they go chasing silverware this weekend...

Tottenham Hotspur will head into Sunday's League Cup final hoping the claim their second consecutive title, having downed Chelsea 2-1 in extra time last year.

Manchester United are Spurs' opponents this time around, but Harry Redknapp has insisted his men won't park the bus against the Premier League leaders.

"You respect but don't fear them because we also have good players for them to worry about," the Lilywhites boss said in The Guardian.

"You have to make sure you stay in the game and therefore there is no point going out there and starting gung-ho. You need to adopt a good shape, be solid, have a plan and know what you are doing against them.

"But we won't sit back – we will have a go. We have good attacking players and we hope to cause them problems as well."

Tottenham have been boosted by the news that Jonathan Woodgate, who scored the Wembley winner 12 months ago, is fit to play despite suffering a gash to the head in the recent win over Hull City.
