Swansea v Tottenham (1215 GMT, BT Sport 1)

The main point to emerge from Tottenham’s Champions League loss to Juventus was that it’s now time for Mauricio Pochettino to start winning trophies along with plaudits, and this now represents their last chance of the season.

Tottenham will have to do it without the injured Harry Kane, but that means that former Swansea striker Fernando Llorente will most likely be given the chance to haunt his own side.

Spurs have a great recent record against the Swans as they’re unbeaten in the last 15, but Carlos Carvalhal has transformed this team, especially at home where they’ve won their last seven and have just one defeat in 14.

Swansea also love the FA Cup, so much so that they’ve played two games in every round so far after winning at home three times in replays – although Spurs are partial to a replay themselves having needed an extra game at Wembley to see-off Rochdale and Newport.

There are no replays in the quarter-finals this year, but the draw, at 10/3, will still be a popular bet and we could see extra time in what is the first FA Cup meeting between these two sides.

Tottenham, you feel, still have enough in the locker to get it done at the first time of asking – Son Heung-Min in particular has been in great form and has nine goals in his last ten FA Cup starts, but they'll have to work overtime to do it.

Swansea showed they can tough it out though with a battling draw at Huddersfield despite playing most of the game with ten men, and although Spurs are a class above the Terriers the hosts have enough to keep it close, it could take extra time to separate them.
