FACTS

• Their most recent contests have been in the FA Cup, where Tottenham lead 4-1, knocking out their Yorkshire opponents after a fifth round replay in 1999 and a fourth round replay in 2010.

• If Leeds can avoid being knocked out by one of the two north London giants for the first time in four seasons, they will be on their best run in the FA Cup for a decade.

• The last time the Elland Road club won an FA Cup tie, prior to the victory over Birmingham in this season's third round, was against Manchester United in the third round three years ago, when Jermaine Beckford famously scored the only goal of the tie at Old Trafford.

• That is the only occasion the Whites have knocked out a top-flight club since Arsenal in February 1997, when Leeds also held Premier League status.

• Spurs have also been fourth round victims in three of the last five years, but have only lost one of their last 18 against second level league clubs; Leicester won 3-2 in the third round at the Walkers Stadium in January 2006.

• The 3-0 victory over League One Coventry in this season's third round was Spurs' 29th triumph in 30 ties against lower league clubs.

Kent

Thanks but I don't need my love for Spurs justifying. The chip on HRH's shoulder has been identified from space, we're in the clear.

Not even too bothered about going out. Means we can concentrate on the league and the EL. Had a bad day, so what? Might even buy a striker now.

Holtby would be nice. Any word on Defoe?

Guessing he had a slight injury

Didn't want Harry to stay

Didn't boo at WHL because I think it's counter-productive

Poor Bales makin assumptions to make him feel a bi better

Ok to blame scapegoat players all the time but manager is off-limits

You could have been playing City, the team you always beat.

Shame.
