Redknapp set to hand Nelsen full Tottenham debut in Cup

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp plans to field a strong line-up for their FA Cup tie at Stevenage.

Despite facing Arsenal and Manchester United in their following fixtures, Redknapp insists he will field a strong side for Sunday's game at Broadhall Way.

He is likely to hand 34-year-old New Zealand defender Ryan Nelsen his full Spurs debut, however.

"The lads have said Ryan Nelsen has trained great this week," Redknapp said. "I have always been a big fan of his. He is a great competitor.

"He is a player I'd like to get a game in to."
