Parker looking forward to Redknapp return

Redknapp failed to make the trip to the north-west after spending the day at London's Southwark Crown Court, where he has been for the last few days contesting two charges of cheating the public revenue.

Without him, Tottenham relied on a man-of-the-match performance from Parker as it held Liverpool to a seventh draw in its past nine home league games.

"Harry gives that extra bit of energy. We've missed him the past couple of weeks," Parker told Sky Sports 1.

"We'll be absolutely delighted when he comes back.

"It was a tough night. When you come to Anfield it's difficult and tonight was no different.

"I thought we were a little but one-paced tonight.

"We've come and got a point, kept a clean sheet and that's most important thing."
