Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp expects John Terry to put in a big performance in Thursday night's London derby at White Hart Lane.
Terry, who has vowed to clear his name, will appear at West London Magistrates Court on February 1 after being charged with a racially aggravated public order offence over comments he is alleged to have made towards the QPR defender during the match between the two sides at Loftus Road on October 23.
Terry has had to endure taunts from opposing fans about the allegations and Thursday night's fiercely-contested London derby at White Hart Lane is expected to be no different despite Spurs issuing a statement warning their fans that any offensive abuse from the stands will not be tolerated.
Redknapp, who has known Terry since the defender was a teenager, has been impressed with how the player has coped with the taunts that have come his way since the allegations were made and expects him to leave his troubles to one side.
Speaking before the CPS announced their decision, the Tottenham manager said: "Nothing seems to have affected his performances on the pitch. He can have all the aggro and he comes out and plays and he just seems to be the
same.
"I remember the problem Leeds had (when Lee Bowyer and Jonathan Woodgate were charged with grievous bodily harm in 2001). Bowyer was coming out of court, playing in European games and being the best player. Woodgate was in bits. He couldn't handle anything. It just affects people differently."
