BIG MATCH FACTS

-

Tottenham have been taken to a replay in back-to-back rounds of the FA Cup for the first time since 2009-10 and have done so against sides from a lower division than themselves for the first time since the 1995-96 campaign when Hereford and Wolves took them to consecutiv­e replays. Rochdale have gone six games unbeaten in the FA Cup (W4 D2) for just the second occasion in their history having previously done so in January 1976.

That was also the last time they avoided defeat to a top-flight side in the FA Cup, when they drew 0-0 with Norwich.

Spurs have lost just once in their last 22 FA Cup fixtures against sides from outside the Premier League. This was just the sixth time they have failed to win (W16 D5 L1). Mauricio Pochettino maintained his record of having never lost to a side from a lower division than the Premier League as a boss in English football (P19 W16 D3 L0).

Spurs have now drawn five consecutiv­e away games in all competitio­ns, the jointlonge­st such streak in their history (also April 1957, November 1973, February 1982, October 1988 and February 1999).

Harry Kane has scored eight goals in his last six FA Cup games for Tottenham.

Ian Henderson has scored six goals in the FA Cup this season. No player has more

(Will Grigg also has six).

Lucas Moura has been directly involved in 18 goals (12 goals, six assists) in his last 20 starts for Spurs and Paris Saint-germain.
