Tottenham striker Bent ready for Pavlyuchenko, Campbell battle

Tottenham striker Darren Bent is aware that he has competition for places up front in Roman Pavlyuchenko and Fraizer Campbell.

The pair started ahead of matchwinner Bent in Wednesday's Carling Cup victory over Watford as Harry Redknapp looked to give him a sharp shock.

But Bent insists he will fight his way back into the starting line-up.

He added: "I have to give it to Pav and Fraizer.

"Pav got his goal against Newcastle, and they were both fantastic against Liverpool, so it was only fair they played.

"If we got to the final, it would be different story - as I would be moaning if I didn't play.

"But I'm delighted for Pav and Fraizer to be scoring.

"The Premier League is our priority, but everyone wants to win a cup.

"When we've got Premier League fixtures, we will switch our attention to those and do the same when it comes to the Carling Cup.

"There is no better feeling for confidence than winning games, regardless of the competition."
