Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is facing a race against time to make it to his side's Premier League showdown with Liverpool this evening after being delayed at court.

The 64-year-old's tax evasion trial has been put on hold for the meantime while a juror struggles to get to Southwark Crown Court due to delays on the London underground.

The trial cannot start until all jurors are present, which could cause a host of problems for Redknapp, who is due to catch a flight to Anfield after today's proceedings.

Redknapp, along with former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric, have denied charges of cheating the public revenue.
