Tottenham Hotspur face a tough test against Swansea City as the North London side attempt to force their way back into third spot.

Tottenham Hotspur can keep pressure on Arsenal with a win over Swansea City at White Hart Lane this Sunday.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed that Aaron Lennon is fit to return to the Premier League side, which means that Niko Kranjcar may have to drop out of the starting XI.

Rafael van der Vaart could make the starting team in order to provide service to striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers is likely to include Garry Monk in defence due to Steven Caulker's ineligibility to play against his parent club.

Wayne Routledge is expected to retain his spot in the lineup, despite the availability of Nathan Dyer, who returns from a three-game ban following his red card offence during the Swans' 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic earlier this month.

Current form:

Tottenham: LWLDDW
Swansea: LLWWWL

Possible lineups:

Tottenham: Friedel; Assou-Ekotto, Kaboul, King, Walker; Bale, Parker, Modric, Van der Vaart, Lennon; Adebayor

Swansea: Vorm; Monk, Taylor, Williams, Rangel; Britton, Sigurdsson, Allen, Routledge; Graham, Sinclair

Sports Mole says: 2-1
