FA Cup as important as top four - Redknapp

Harry Redknapp insists there will be no danger of Tottenham prioritising the league over the FA Cup this weekend, as Spurs prepare to welcome Bolton to White Hart Lane.
Redknapp's side are strong favourites to book a place in the FA Cup semi-finals against relegation-threatened Bolton, who have already lost at White Hart Lane this season. A repeat result takes Spurs to Wembley.
However, Tottenham are only a point clear of Arsenal and four ahead of Chelsea in the race for Champions League qualification this season, so Redknapp could be forgiven for prioritising league fixtures over Saturday's FA Cup tie.
The Spurs boss was having none of it on Friday though, insisting the Bolton game will be treated every bit as seriously as forthcoming clashes with Stoke and Chelsea.
"We want to go to Wembley and win a cup so tomorrow's an important game," Redknapp said. "Then we've obviously got two important league games, Stoke and Chelsea, so we'll give it our best shot in all of them.
"We want to get to the semi-finals, it's very important for us. We've had results that haven't gone our way but the performances have been excellent.
"I've never had a team in football that have had more of the game against Manchester United. I've beaten them once or twice but you come away thinking, 'How have we won that game?' But we played ever so well against them.
"Same against Everton. You never get an easy game at Everton but I've been really happy with the performances."
