But for Newport County midfielder Sean Rigg, it's no big deal. We're going to do the exact same as we did for Leeds and against Tottenham in the first game - we're going to concentrate on ourselves.

Tottenham have won all seven FA Cup matches at home against teams from the English fourth tier, scoring 38 goals (avg 5.4 goals per game).

Both teams made a series of changes to their line ups from last weekend's league fixtures.

The likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United remain in the FA Cup heading into the fifth round but Spurs have shown this season, at home at least, that they can give most sides run for their money.
