But have Burnley as favourites. They always do well at home against us.

Just read that Burnley are shutting one of their stands as they haven't sold enough tickets. I'm looking forward to the game but it all feels a bit like 'after the lord mayors show' as i think we're still on such a high after last week.

We need to be professional tonight, MP must stress this whatever side he puts out . Can't be doing with going out with a whimper, if anything i'd rather him play a bunch of kids with 100% passion and endeavour than our second string stiffs. The momentum is with us at the moment and we've got to ride it, lose tonight and it will be back to normal. As of now, we're still in 4 competitions. By 10pm tonight, i hope we still are.

Surely its bound to be somewhere?

As far as I can see it is not being broadcast on TV in any country which would mean that it won't be available in full anywhere.

I read on Twitter too that the Stadium was not being set up for TV coverage other than the skeleton filming the BBC use for their coverage shows...

Question of the day

Would you rather rest Harry Kane to keep him "fresh" and not pick up an injury today or play him to keep his form rolling?

Initially though wont play him. But now I feel its ok to play him. Next game is 1 week away. Does he need rest for 10 days ?
If our intention is to loan or sell Soldado & Ade, what if we play them they get injured ?

If Kane is fit enough - on second thoughts I would play him

As I read it, it's a question of balancing a core of regular first teamers with some properly motivated squad players and possibly a promising youngster. We've got 5 days before the next PL match, so there's no need to be too cautious about using our full squad, though I'd agree that the likes of Kane and Eriksen would watch from the bench.

(The reference to "properly motivated" means excluding those who we assume are in advanced stages of their proposed moves to warmer climes and softer leagues, or those who've already declared that they are happy to sit tight and see out the remainder of their contracts. On this basis, our squad isn't quite as large as we'd all like to think...)

As we've seen over the weekend, failure to take the game by the scruff of the neck can leave a club looking pretty foolish, as well as insulting the loyal fans who've gone to the trouble and expense of a Monday night trip to Burnley.

I presumed it was on Chinese TV or something?

Nothing worse than getting knocked out the FA Cup early and then having weekends without Spurs playing. Strong team please.

Doesn't look like it.

Seems no one in the world wants to watch us against Burnley tonight, maybe something will become apparent later-but as it stands we will only be seen on the BBC FA cup highlights show...

I don't think not playing today will impact on his form. Start Ade/Soldado, keep Kane on the bench for a bit of impetus if needed.

I think there has to be some rotation for this, coming off the busy Christmas run of games and that we seem reliant on two/three players. Certainly I wouldn't want Kane, Eriksen or Lloris starting this game. For me an unnecessary risk in the early rounds of the cup, the rest of the squad should be able to step up.

He should be eligible. I think there's different registration rules for the FA cup
Many on here have said Yedlin is not eligible for the FA Cup. Even if he was no way would be be involved tonight. I expect a couple of u-21 games are next for him.

If true, that's such a joke. Only two games on tonight and the one that is actually between two PL clubs is not being shown... WTF. When will the highlights even be? Straight after the Pool game I guess. Joke

When and where will highlights be shown for this game?
I think the best bet is just after the Wimbledon v Liverpool broadcast on the Beeb, may be just the goals - no Match of the Day tonight when I last looked
