Sports Mole previews Sunday's Premier League clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Swansea City at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham Hotpur will be looking to bounce back from last week's agonising 2-1 defeat to Everton when they welcome Swansea City to White Hart Lane.

Andre Villas-Boas's men conceded two late goals at Goodison Park last Sunday, bringing to an end their three-game winning run.

The Portuguese coach has been boosted by the news that Scott Parker and Benoit Assou-Ekotto are back in contention, while Gareth Bale also returns from suspension.

Meanwhile, Michael Laudrup welcomes Ashley Williams back from suspension, but the Dane looks likely to be without Pablo Hernandez for the trip to North London, as the Spaniard continues to struggle with a thigh complaint.

The Swans were defeated 3-1 in this fixture back in April, but come into the game on good form.
