Redknapp said: "Although we know they are still a dangerous side with great flair we have players who can cause them problems as well.
"We are certainly not coming here to sit back for 90 minutes and invite them on to us. That would be asking for trouble.

Midfielder Sean Davis is back in contention for a starting berth after shaking off a groin injury, while Glen Little looks set to keep his place after John Utaka joined Papa Bouba Diop on the sidelines, with both suffering from hamstring problems.
