Spurs boss Redknapp vows to have a go at the Italians by playing an offencive team tonight

Harry Redknapp is hopeful of having Rafael van der Vaart and Gareth Bale available for tonight's Champions League return clash with AC Milan and has pledged to go on the attack.

Redknapp will not try to merely hold onto the 1-0 first leg advantage his side achieved in the San Siro.

The return of 12-goal leading scorer Van der Vaart and Bale, who has been on target 11 times, will only add to his firepower.

Bale actually made his comeback during the final quarter of yesterday's 3-3 draw at Wolves after six weeks on the sidelines with a back injury.

Van der Vaart is making good progress in his recovery from a calf problem.

Redknapp said: "I think we've got enough to hurt Milan at home. We'll be positive.

"We will play an attacking team. We'll play (Aaron) Lennon and probably Gareth Bale and have a go.

"Peter Crouch has had a great European campaign as well. And Van der Vaart has a good chance for Wednesday, I hope he will be fit."

Meanwhile, AC Milan's Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato has claimed he is "100 per cent" fit for the tonight's clash.
