Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas believes that Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has a "big advantage" heading into this weekend's Premier League clash.

Redknapp will face his former team for the first time since getting sacked in the summer and Villas-Boas is adamant that the 65-year-old's knowledge of the players could damage Spurs.

"I think it's a big advantage," ESPN quotes Villas-Boas as saying. "In the end, when you manage a club you know your football players very well. You get to know them, you get to know their qualities and I think Harry can take advantage of that."

The last time that Spurs travelled to Loftus Road they were beaten 1-0 with Redknapp at the helm.
