Sheffield United vs Tottenham score prediction
Realistically, the FA Cup is Tottenham's best chance of winning a trophy this season.
A number of big-hitters have already been eliminated and while rotation will be key to ensuring they don't burn out, they should have enough quality to see themselves into the quarter-finals.
This is pretty much a free hit for Sheffield United, who will be able to test themselves against top-flight opposition ahead of an expected return to the Premier League next season.
Prediction: Sheffield United 0-2 Tottenham
