It’s a big game for…

Leonardo Ulloa: The Spanish forward looks set to lead the line in the absence of the injured Jamie Vardy. Given the England international’s form this season those are some big shoes to fill. But Ulloa has happy memories of this ground – he scored Leicester’s opener in a 2-1 Fourth Round win last season.

Weird /best stat…

3 – Sunday’s match will be the third FA Cup meeting between the two sides in the last ten years.

Remember when…

These two sides played out a thrilling 4-4 draw at White Hart Lane in 2004?

Player to watch…

Tom Carroll: The former Swansea loanee recently scored his first goal for the club in the 3-0 home win over Norwich City. Carroll is another of Spurs’ English youngsters who is grabbing the headlines this season.
