Didier Zokora has backed strikers Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane to fire Tottenham past PSV Eindhoven and into the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.Spurs' strike duo have 39 goals between them this season and have been told by head coach Juande Ramos to attack the Dutch champions at Philips Stadium.
Trailing 1-0 from last week's first leg, the goals are unlikely to come from midfielder Zokora as he is yet to break his Spurs duck - but he believes Berbatov and Keane will provide the threat.
"They have scored a lot of goals and are the leaders of the team in every game," said Zokora.
"It is because they want to help with goals. We need help in this tie and they are ready and want to help.
"They are one of the best partnerships in the Premier League. When they play the game is so easy for Spurs. They are good players together, they are very clever players.
"It's not telepathy, they are intelligent players and when they play together they play well."
Ramos has called for a Spurs performance to match his last trip to Eindhoven when he won his first trophy as a manager.
The Spaniard guided Sevilla to victory over Middlesbrough at the ground in the 2006 UEFA Cup final before defending the title last season - but his hopes of a hat-trick are now in the balance.
"We are going to need a similar type of performance as Sevilla produced last time here," he added.
"The players are going to have to play at an extremely high level to get through.
"Tottenham always play to win, whether we start 0-0, winning 1-0 or losing 1-0. We have not other type of football or concept of playing.
"We are going to play like we always do and nothing more."
An incentive to score more than one goal comes from wanting to avoid extra time, as PSV had the weekend off due to a police strike.
"That might give them an extra advantage," admitted Ramos.
Gilberto used the weekend fixture against West Ham to build up his confidence after being at fault for Jefferson Farfan's goal for PSV last Thursday.
The Brazil full-back scored in the 4-0 win over the Hammers but Ramos still dropped him from the squad travelling to Eindhoven.
