since consecutive FA Cup meetings in 1959 and 1960, with Spurs winning both games. Newport are eighth in League Two while Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League.

It is Yeovil, however, who could really claim the biggest scalp. Manchester United have progressed in each of their last 16 FA Cup ties against teams from the fourth-tier or lower, keeping clean sheets in each of their last 11. Trailing City in the league by 12 points, another Premier League title appears to be out of reach for United. Therefore, Mourinho is unlikely to take too many risks with his starting XI as he chases arguably his best chance of silverware this season. Elsewhere, West Ham United take on in-form League One side Wigan Athletic. Among sides in the top four tiers of England, only City (29) and United (24) have won more competitive games this season than Wigan (23). Other Premier League sides in action against underdog opposition are Leicester City at Peterborough United and Swansea City at Notts County.
