CAMPBELL AIMS TO TAME TIGERS

Campbell - faces former side.

Fraizer Campbell wants to help lift Tottenham off the foot of the Barclays Premier League - and dent Hull's stunning start to the season in the process.

Campbell played a central role in Hull gaining promotion to the top flight when he went to the KC Stadium on loan from Manchester United, although Phil Brown's men have hardly missed him since and are currently sixth on the back of last week's famous win at Arsenal.

They are planning a north London double when they travel to White Hart Lane this weekend, with Spurs looking for their first league win of the season.

Campbell, after being involved in what effectively was the winning goal against Wisla Krakow on Thursday, is now in contention for a starting place against his former club.

"I'm going to see a couple of old friends but we won't be friends on the day," said the England Under-21 striker.

"It's crazy. Football tends to throw those things at you, but I'm really looking forward to it.

"I saw the highlights of the Arsenal game and they did brilliantly, and scored some good goals. I never saw that coming though!

"A lot of people wrote them off at the start of the season but they are going really well. Hopefully that will continue but only after Sunday."

Campbell was originally credited with the goal which sent Spurs through to the group stage of the UEFA Cup, although Wisla captain Arkadiusz Glowacki had put through his own net.

Roman Pavlyuchenko and Vedran Corluka are ineligible for European competition but return to the squad for the Hull clash.

Skipper Ledley King is yet to play matches in quick succession this season as he recovers from knee surgery, but he is hopeful of playing some part.

"It's something we'll have to look at with the manager and the medical staff," King said.

"It's a delicate situation at the moment but hopefully I'll be involved (against Hull).

"It's still difficult to say how it's going to be. I want to be there for the team but it's early days and at the moment, they're just trying to get me involved in certain games.

"It's tough because I want to play but I am aware of what I have to do for the team, and that's how it has to be at the moment."

Spurs were indebted to goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes to hold on to their aggregate lead in Poland, with the Brazilian now looking to get off the mark in the league.

"I'm the goalkeeper and I'm only doing my job," he said.

"I just hope we play well in the next game against Hull and get a win in the league in front of our fans."

Less than 24 hours after the result against Wisla, Spurs denied reports they have sounded out Manchester City boss Mark Hughes for the manager's job at White Hart Lane.

A statement read: "This story is completely untrue and without foundation."
