Tottenham will try to get past Bolton at the second attempt today, as they play their replay after drawing the first match 1-1. Kevin Davies had put Bolton ahead after the 34th minute but Jermain Defoe equalised in the 62nd minute, and Spurs could not find a way through Bolton's resilient defence as they pressed for a winner. Harry Redknapp's side will fancy their chances in the Cup, and with Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal all out, they could go all the way to Wembley.
