The match kick-off was rescheduled to 15:30 GMT to allow fans more time to get to White Hart Lane.

 

The delay is believed to have been caused by a traffic collision on the M52 motorway.

 

Andre Villas-Boas' side went into the game searching for three points to move them back into the fourth and final UEFA Champions League position, ahead of Arsenal’s late kick-off at Loftus Road against QPR.
