Tottenham have to decide whether to play Ledley King against Bolton or save him for the crucial midweek trip to Manchester City.
Spurs may hand Aaron Lennon his first start of 2010 following his return from a persistent groin injury.
Bolton's Stuart Holden could return to action for the first time since he fractured his fibula two months ago.
Manager Owen Coyle has injury doubts over Chris Basham, Ricardo Gardner and Andy O'Brien.
Tottenham

Injured: Corluka & Kranjcar (both ankle), Cudicini (broken wrists), Woodgate (groin)
Bolton
Doubtful: Basham (thigh), Gardner & Holden (both leg), A O'Brien (knee)
Injured: Davis & McCann (both ankle), J O'Brien (knee)
Tottenham's race for the remaining Champions League spot is entering the final furlong and the finishing post is in sight.
Seven points from their final three games would not only secure fourth place, but would also give them their best points return in a league season for 25 years.

That game (v Man City) will have a huge impact on who finishes fourth... We are the closest team to it, and if we go there and get a result we are halfway there
Tottenham striker Peter Crouch

White Hart Lane will be a pit of nerves. Tottenham fans know that although three points against Bolton are crucial, Wednesday's encounter away at their rivals for fourth, Manchester City, is the one they must not lose.
Bolton will not be a pushover, despite Owen Coyle's men only securing their top-flight status last weekend. Coyle refused to celebrate, saying his aspirations for the club are higher than just staying in the league.
His opposite number, Harry Redknapp, may be casting anxious glances at his watch during the first half at White Hart Lane, but it will have nothing to do with the events on the pitch. His horse, Arry's Orse, competes in the first classic of the flat racing season at Newmarket.
Head-to-head
• This will be the 98th league meeting between the sides. Tottenham have won 42 of those, Bolton 36 and there have been 19 draws.
• Away victories are rare in this fixture. Bolton have won only twice in 10 league visits to White Hart Lane in the Premier League and Spurs have won just once in 11 trips to the Reebok Stadium.
• Four of the last seven meetings between these sides have ended in a draw, but Tottenham beat Bolton 4-0 in February in an FA Cup fifth-round replay at White Hart Lane.

606: DEBATE
|
Tottenham
• They have won seven of their last nine league matches, but have kept only one clean sheet in their last eight league games.
• Spurs have given away nine penalties in the league this season, a joint-high.
• When Harry Redknapp's team have scored two or more goals in their home games this season they have won the match, but when they have scored fewer than two they haven't won.
• If selected, Jermain Defoe will be making his 400th career appearance. His present tally comprises; 105 matches for West Ham, 31 at Bournemouth, 36 for Portsmouth and 227 in two spells at Tottenham, scoring 169 goals in total.
• Gareth Bale has been named Barclays player of the month for April. He scored the decisive goal in both 2-1 wins over London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea.
Bolton
• Bolton have failed to score in seven of their last nine away matches in the league.
• The Trotters won 18 points this season in the 18 games Gary Megson was in charge of and they have 18 points from the 18 matches since Owen Coyle has been at the helm.
• Kevin Davies has scored six league goals against Spurs - a total he has only bettered against Aston Villa and West Ham.
