Tottenham vs Portsmouth

Tottenham are going on yet another cup run as they chase a first trophy in 14 years - and they'll have to ensure there is no shock upset against League One ...

Pompey go with the same back five however as they look to cause an almighty upset in north London. Halfway through the first-half here and nothing to separate the teams here. Spurs try to counter but Skipp loses control of the ball. He cuts inside and is completely wiped out by Hume who gives away a free-kick in a dangerous position. Spurs are awarded a free-kick just outside the box. Swanson blocks another cross out for another corner - Spurs' seventh of the half. Hackett-Fairfield stands over the ball and whips in a tempting delivery. Let's take a look at the current scores. The ball makes its way to Bryan Gil who tries to dance out of trouble but cannot get his feat sorted. Neither manager has opted to make any changes yet and we are back underway. He plays a quick one-two with Sessegnon and curls a beauty into the far right corner past the helpless Griffiths. The South Korean has a pop at goal but his effort flies widly over.

Kane needs two goals in the north London derby to overtake Spurs' all-time leading goalscorer after seeing Spurs past Portsmouth in the FA Cup third round.

There was always a question of how he would react to the With his options limited, there was little Conte could do to see the game out but he did hand a rare appearance to Djed Spence, who would now be cup-tied if he did move away on loan this month. There were flashes of invention from the young winger again and Spurs’ task now is to allow him to push higher up the pitch and establish himself in a position where Kane and Son can make the best of his runs, particularly as he continues to adapt physically. Spurs’ opener had nearly come from a far unlikelier source moments earlier when Emerson Royal met Son Heung-min’s cross and headed onto the post. Fraser Forster, who spent eight years on Southampton’s books, was already the most unpopular man in the away end when he managed to get down to deny Hackett’s ambitious scissor kick. While that has cost them so many times this season, there was a little more leeway here against League One opposition, who sacked manager Danny Cowley in midweek after a winless nine-game streak.
