Well, what an awful week it has been for Spurs. Knocked out of the Carabao Cup on Thursday by Chelsea and now find themselves out of the FA Cup. However, do not take antyhing away from Roy Hodgson's side. It was a gritty performance from the Eagles who deservedly find themselves in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Mauricio Pochettino quotes

"Palace is going to be a difficult game, of course, we are going to rotate because we need to rotate because we have two Premier League games on Wednesday and Saturday. It is going to be tough too, we are going to need full energy in every game. Sunday is going to be a game we need full energy in."
