Redknapp plays down Tottenham's start

Harry Redknapp has played down Spurs' start to the Premier League campaign. However, he admits the London club will be pushing for a high finish if they improve their away form. Spurs start the weekend top of the table but are unlikely to stay there before they face West Ham at Upton Park on Sunday. "Last year we had a great run and only lost one game at home since I was here," he said. "If we can continue then we will be pushing up to that top group in the league. We will push forward if we pick up a few more away wins. "The top four are fantastic and it's very difficult to break into it. We've just got to keep going and see where we end up. We've had a terrific start." He added: "We'd be getting a bit more excited if it was after 18 or 20 games. It's only two games." Ledley King is back after resting his knee at Hull, but Jonathan Woodgate, Jermaine Jenas, Michael Dawson, Gareth Bale and Heurelho Gomes are out.
