Ramos guided Sevilla to victory over Middlesbrough at the ground in the 2006 UEFA Cup final before defending the competition last season - but his hopes of a hat-trick are in the balance after PSV earned a 1-0 advantage last week.

Spurs need at least a goal to have a chance of reaching the quarter-finals, and Ramos has told his players to attack.

"I have magnificent memories about the first cup we won at Sevilla, it was also my first title," he said.

"It was a beautiful and unforgettable experience, but now we have to think about playing well if we want to stay in this year's competition.

"We are going to need a similar type of performance as Sevilla produced last time here. The players are going to have to play at an extremely high level to get through.

"Tottenham always play to win, whether we start 0-0, winning 1-0 or losing 1-0. We have no other type of football or concept of playing. We are going to play like we always do and nothing more."

Ramos will unleash Aaron Lennon down the flanks at the Dutch champions, with Jermaine Jenas looking to break from midfield in search of a way back into the tie.

In attack, Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane are on the brink of breaking the 40-goal mark between them this season.

"They have scored a lot of goals and are the leaders of the team in every game," said midfielder Didier Zokora.

"It is because they want to help with goals. We need help in this tie and they are ready and want to help.

"They are one of the best partnerships in the Premier League. When they play the game is so easy for Spurs. They are good players together, they are very clever players.

"It's not telepathy - they are intelligent players and when they play together they play well."

An incentive to score more than one goal comes from wanting to avoid extra-time, as PSV had the weekend off due to a police strike.

"That might give them an extra advantage," admitted Ramos.

Gilberto used the weekend fixture against West Ham to build up his confidence after being at fault for Jefferson Farfan's goal for PSV last Thursday.

The Brazil full-back scored but Ramos still dropped him from the squad travelling to Eindhoven.

"In this case, one mistake in our defence has cost us, but we have to keep fighting," Ramos said.

Zokora described the confidence Ramos has brought to the team, a belief that brought them the Carling Cup last month and helped them bounce back after consecutive defeats to win 4-0 at the weekend.

Ramos' confidence in the tie stems from his back-to-back UEFA Cups where Sevilla managed to keep themselves alive against the odds.

Against Shakhtar Donetsk a year ago, also at the last-16 stage, goalkeeper Andres Palop dramatically scored a goal to force extra-time.

"We've played some really difficult and complicated games," Ramos said. "There were games when Sevilla were really close to being knocked out.

"Palop, our goalkeeper, scored a goal right at the death that enabled us to get through the round and we ended up being champions."
