Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon is still nursing a groin injury and will miss the FA Cup clash against his former club Leeds. Tom Huddlestone is also out of the tie at White Hart Lane as he has a knee injury but midfielder Jamie O'Hara is available. Ledley King will be rested, while Jonathan Woodgate (groin), Benoit Assou-Ekotto (groin) and Carlo Cudicini (wrists and pelvis) are on the sidelines. | |||||

Leeds striker Luciano Becchio is expected to return to his side's starting line-up. The Argentinian was rested for the midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat to Carlisle when Mike Grella partnered leading goalscorer Jermaine Beckford. But the South American proved a handful alongside Beckford at Manchester United in the previous round and is likely to return. Central defender Patrick Kisnorbo could also be back in contention after missing out in midweek - Leigh Bromby stepped up to partner Richard Naylor in central defence - while goalkeeper Shane Higgs is still dogged by a thigh problem, so Casper Ankergren will continue. It will be the first meeting between the two sides in over six years. Tottenham beat Leeds at Elland Road 1-0 in a Premier League game in January 2004 after winning at White Hart Lane 2-1 the previous August. | |||||
