Swansea City v Tottenham

Premier League title-contenders Tottenham travel to Swansea in search of a second successive three-point coup at a newly promoted club.

Spurs ran out 2-0 winners against Norwich on Boxing day but face a tough challenge when they travel to Liberty Stadium on Saturday where the Swans have lost just once this season.

Manager Harry Redknapp may bring Ledley King into the team after he was rested against the Canaries while Jermain Defoe (hamstring) is a doubt. Aaron Lennon is not yet fit to return.

Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers will assess the fitness of full-back Angel Rangel (ankle) ahead of the clash, with Jazz Richards set to continue in the starting XI if the Spaniard is not fit enough to reclaim his place.

Left-back Neil Taylor is set to return from a knee injury but centre-half Steven Caulker is absent due to the terms of his loan from Spurs, with club captain Garry Monk coming into the side.
