HARRY WINKS reckons the Wembley factor will work in Tottenham’s favour in their bid for FA Cup glory.

He added: “You can never be sure as the magic of the cup has proven many times. Anything can happen.

“But as long as we approach this game in the right manner – and win it – hopefully we should have no trouble.”
