Spurs' 3-1 win over Stevenage is their only success in seven outings

"Owen Coyle’s side have lost four of their previous five contests on the road, scoring just twice in the process."

This will inevitably be a difficult evening for all concerned but Tottenham's goodwill is not likely to extend long beyond the first whistle...

Tottenham v Bolton, Tuesday 19:30, ESPN, Match odds: Tottenham [1.35], Bolton [10.0], The Draw [5.7]

Though Spurs are now without a league win in five, a creditable goalless draw at Stamford Bridge suggests they are the over the worst of their slump.

Securing Champions League football might remain their priority but the small matter of a potential Wembley semi-final against Chelsea should help concentrate their minds.

In spite of their recent wobble, Tottenham's home form remains very respectable. Spurs have won three of their last five at the Lane, while the two Manchester clubs remain the only teams to have won at Tottenham in domestic football this season.

Tottenham are unbeaten against Bolton in eight meetings at White Hart Lane, seven of which they have won. And Bolton's away record is none too impressive. Owen Coyle's side have lost four of their previous five contests on the road, scoring just twice in the process.

The visitors will however be buoyed by their crucial win over Blackburn which saw Bolton climb out of the bottom three. And while they will no doubt be desperate to put on another good show in tribute to Fabrice Muamba, one suspects this will prove a step too far.

Total Tottenham goals

Harry Redknapp's side have scored three or more in three of their last five home games and have achieved the same feat in each of their last five FA Cup ties at White Hart Lane. Bolton fell to a 3-0 defeat at Tottenham earlier in the campaign and have conceded three times in two of their previous four league outings on the road. Tottenham are [1.95] to put at least three past Adam Bogdan in the Bolton goal.

Jermain Defoe to score at any time

Spurs' diminutive striker has something of a reputation as a cup specialist and Opta note he has already netted three times in this season's competition - all of those strikes coming at White Hart Lane. Defoe has 15 goals to his name this season and is [2.36] to add to his tally on Tuesday.

Best Bet: Tottenham to score three or more @ [1.95]
Other Recommended Bet: Jermain Defoe to score at any time @ [2.36]
