The Russian striker, who scored twice in the league game at Wigan at the weekend, bagged another brace in Spurs' 4-0 win at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night.
"It's great to see Pavlyuchenko score four in two games. He took his goals well, he is a quality finisher and he has proven that again tonight," the Spurs boss said after the match.
"Last week he was excellent in training, he was the best player in everything we did, he looked like he wanted to play.
"Nobody wants to see him do well more than me; it makes my job a lot easier.
"He is a very nice lad, but he is laid back and some days he needs a rocket. He's playing like he's had a rocket."
"He's in the team now, his confidence should be high and it is up to him to play well, he is bang in form and I wouldn't see myself leaving him out of the team at the weekend."
Spurs next face Everton in the league and then play Fulham in the quarter finals of the Cup and Redknapp is expecting a tough game at Craven Cottage on Saturday, 6th March.
"It will be a difficult game at Craven Cottage, but we can only focus on the next game, and that's Everton in the league," he said.
