Tony Craig. For Craig and the Millwall backline as a whole, Sunday’s game poses a big test. The Lions are the only team in the top four leagues who have yet to lose a game this calendar year. To add to that, they’ve only conceded two goals in their last 13 games. But with players like Harry Kane and Dele Alli on the prowl, it’s likely their impressive 2017 record could be about to come to an end.
Best stat…
Tottenham have never lost at home to Millwall, winning 12 and drawing two of their 14 meetings.
Player to watch…
Harry Kane. With eight goals to his name from Tottenham’s last four games, as well as the February Player of the Month award, Kane currently looks unstoppable. The England international was deadly against Stoke, clinching an impressive hat-trick at home, and helped fired Spurs to an important victory over Everton with a brace. If his last FA Cup appearance is anything to go by, Millwall’s defence should be in for a torrid afternoon of football.

Good morning and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of Tottenham's quarter-final clash with Millwall. Spurs have been in formidable form on home turf this season, but the visitors have already knocked three Premier League sides out of this competition so they will be brimming with confidence. Kane is in a rich vein of form for Pochettino's side, so is set to cause a problem today for the League 1 side.
Stay tuned for team news, live updates and minute-by-minute coverage of all of the action.
With 68 goals in 108 appearances for Spurs, it seems that Kane is establishing himself as one of the worlds most clinical strikers. With 18 league goals already, the 23-year-old is on course to win the Premier League Golden Boot award for the second successive season. I am sure that Millwall will try their hardest to mark him out the game...with emphasis on the word 'try'.
Following yesterday's FA Cup antics, Arsenal and Manchester City have secured their places in the next round of the competition. Arsenal defeated non-league Lincoln with a 5-0 scoreline and City defeated Middlesbrough 2-0 away from home. Chelsea host Manchester United tomorrow for the remaining game of the quarter-finals.
Retired Spurs legend Cliff Jones has his money on Harry Kane. It's a safe bet I'd say...
