Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will almost certainly hand a start to striker Peter Crouch against Bolton on Saturday.

The England international did not appear in Spurs 5-0 demolition of Burnley on the weekend despite scoring a hat-trick in the Carling Cup against Preston just days before but will get his chance against the Trotters at Reebok Stadium.

"Peter will get the opportunity to play plenty of games this year. Next week is another game away to Bolton - a big, strong team, Redknapp said after the Burnley win.

"Set plays, we have got to go there and be prepared for that. Today we went with a small team, next week I will probably pick a bigger team.

"Just because you bring players here doesn't mean you are going to play them. They have got to come here and earn the right to play."
