Chris Hughton has warned Spurs that Harry Redknapp’s second coming (well, return to Pompey anyway!) will give Portsmouth a huge lift.

Spurs take on Portsmouth on Monday night (Sky) in their first game since the return of former West Ham and Southampton manager Harry Redknapp.

Hughton told the official site: ‘It will give them a lift, for sure. We?re all aware when a new manager comes into a club that players are playing for places and looking to impress. From what I’ve seen on television Harry seems to be a popular choice for the players so with that being the case you would expect the players to want to work for him. He?s a bubbly character and he?ll get them playing, that?s for sure. I would expect a response from the team.’

Adding: ‘Every player in that team will want to stake his claim for a new manager. From that point of view it?s something we could have done without but it?s a home game for us and we have to treat it like any other.’
