Rafael Van Der Vaart could be fit to start for Tottenham Hotspur against Liverpool in what is a crucial match for two teams with top four ambitions

With Arsenal struggling this season there is an opportunity for both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur to overtake the Gunners and finish in the top four of the Premier League and qualify for next season's Champions League.

That makes Sunday's meeting of the two at White Hart Lane a crucial match and Spurs' boss Harry Redknapp has been boosted by the news that Rafael Van Der Vaart may be available, having overcome a hamstring injury that was expected to keep the Dutchman out for over six weeks.

Van Der Vaart could, therefore, start in attack for the hosts, alongside new signing Emmanuel Adebayor, with Luka Modric and Gareth Bale also providing an attacking threat from midfield. Aaron Lennon, Tom Huddlestone, Sandro and Steven Pienaar will, however, miss out for the home side, due to injury.

Liverpool talisman Steven Gerrard is still not 100% match fit and so will have to settle for a place on the bench at White Hart Lane, next to England international Andy Carroll, with Kenny Dalglish expected to use Luis Suarez as a lone striker against Tottenham.

The Uruguayan will be supported by Stewart Downing and Dirk Kuyt from the flanks, with Jordan Henderson, Lucas and Charlie Adam forming a solid midfield three for the Reds.

Expected Starting Teams

Tottenham: Friedel - Corlucka, King, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto - Kranjcar, Modric, Parker, Bale - Van Der Vaart, Adebayor

Liverpool: Reina - Flanagan, Agger, Carragher, Enrique - Lucas, Henderson, Adam, Downing, Kuyt - Suarez
