Spurs are four points clear in the race for the final Champions League place and meet Portsmouth in the FA Cup semi-finals on 11th April.

Redknapp watched his side defeat the same opposition in a dress rehearsal at White Hart Lane on Saturday thanks to goals from Peter Crouch and Niko Kranjcar.

Following the semi-final is the small matter of the north-London derby with Arsenal at White Hart Lane, swiftly followed by the visit of title chasers Chelsea and then a trip to Manchester United.

Redknapp, though, is relishing the challenge.

"It is going to be a tough week," said the Spurs manager.

"We play Portsmouth in the semi-final on the Sunday, then we have got Arsenal on the Wednesday, then Chelsea on the Saturday.

"It is not ideal, but they are good games.

"At this stage of the season, to be in the cup semi-final and a chance of finishing fourth - you could not ask for more than that."

Redknapp continued: "We have been in great form, with something like 17 points from the last eight league games.

"If you get [an average of] two points a game, you are doing a miracle.

"Man United are top of the form table, with two-and-a-half points a game, but we'll keep going and see what happens.

"We do look at the form tables and the fixtures of other teams around us all the time, but you never know because this league is so hard and everybody is scrapping for points.

"West Ham have to play Liverpool and Man City yet - and there will be some shocks before the end of the season."

Tottenham's next match is against Sunderland on 3rd April.

On Sunday star striker Jermain Defoe said that he expected to feature in that match as he has almost recovered from a hamstring injury.
