About the Match

The Carling Cup winners face the Wembley-bound FA Cup semi-finals in the 301st Premier League fixture of the season. Tottenham cannot climb higher than 11th; Portsmouth are six points off fifth place and Uefa Cup qualification through the league.

Pompey have won one more league game away, than Spurs have managed at home (eight to seven).

This is Tottenham's 50th league and cup fixture this season, and 24th at White Hart Lane, where there have been 99 goals on view (63 for, 36 against).

Wednesday's exciting 4-4 home draw with Chelsea, means that Tottenham's 30 league games have yielded an incredible 109 goals (58 for, 51 against). At 3.63, it's the highest goals per game average in the highest league. Only Manchester United have a more lethal attack, while just the defences Derby, Reading and Newcastle are more generous.

Spurs hold a 100% home Premier League record against Portsmouth, winning all four of their meetings with an aggregate of 12-6.
