Lions won’t ambush us, vows Spurs boss Pochettino

The Lions have an impressive recent record in the FA Cup, as they reached the final of the competition in 2004, while they were semi-finalists four years ago.

Under former managers Harry Redknapp and Andre Villas-Boas, the likes of Kane, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker all developed on loan away from the North London side.

An interesting fact to note ahead of this fixture is that last time Tottenham played Millwall in an FA Cup match, they went on to lift the trophy that year in the 1966-67 season.

And the England worldwide, who is the Premier League’s top goalscorer this season with 19 strikes, believes going to Millwall was a key time in his career.

The tie had the potential to see crowd trouble as two London sides went head to head.

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick in the 5-0 win in the previous round against Fulham.

“We want to avoid what happened in those last three league games last season”, said ex-Ajax ace Eriksen, who cost £12.5million in August 2013.

“In different periods something like loaning Harry to Millwall can work”, The Guardian quotes Pochettino as saying.

Unfortunately, neither of the FA Cup matches on tap today are the juicy ones. With that in mind, don’t expect them to rotate significantly or take this match easy – they’ll be focused and determined, and that’s going to be bad news for Millwall fans hoping for a miracle.

BBC One is the place to catch Tottenham v Millwall, with coverage set to start at 1.30pm before kick-off at 2pm.

Kane is on course to win the Premier League Golden Boot award for the second successive season and needs only seven more goals to surpass the 25 he netted in the league last season. “But I like it from the moment we arrive in the changing room”. “Spurs” just beat the modest home “Millwall”. “You don’t have to go anywhere else when Tottenham are progressing”.

“Obviously helping out the team and adding to the tally is what I want to do but I want to try and get assists as well”.
