Tottenham youngsters Tom Huddlestone and Jamie O'Hara have been guaranteed a start in Sunday's Carling Cup final against Manchester United.

"Even the bench on Sunday could be young, and there could be one or two youngsters among them because we're struggling," Redknapp said.

"Tom Huddlestone may think maybe I'm going to start (Jermaine) Jenas and (Didier) Zokora but Tom will play a part on Sunday because he deserves to, he's been excellent. Same as Jamie O'Hara."
