We'll be back with live coverage of Jose Mourinho's latest return to Stamford Bridge tomorrow, but until then you can enjoy the final Premier League game of the day as Liverpool host Burnley. Join me on the other side!
GOAL! Tottenham 5-0 Millwall (Vincent Janssen)
It really is going all Tottenham's way. Vincent Janssen off the bench and onto the scoresheet for the first time in open play. he collects Son's pass and nonchalantly sweeps the ball into the corner. How he and Spurs needed that, with Harry Kane facing a spell out injured.
GOAL! Tottenham 2-0 Millwall (Son Heung-Min)
Stunning goal probably puts the tie beyond League One Millwall. Son miss-controls the ball wide on the right but he is allowed to come inside and curl into the top corner from 20 yards. Brilliant goal, and without Harry Kane this is all the more impressive.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Millwall (Christian Eriksen)
Mauricio Pochettino looks fuming on the touchline but his mood will have been lifted by an opening goal for Spurs. The ball is bouncing around the Millwall box and Eriksen is able to take advantage by driving the ball beyond King. The man who replaced Kane sets Tottenham on their way.
Those of you with a good memory will remember that before staring in the Tottenham attack, Harry Kane began his football education at Millwall. He scored nine times in 27 outings for the club during the 2011-12 season, prior to having spells at Norwich and Leicester. The rest, as they say, is history.
Amid all the provisions put in place for this game, it is frankly laughable that a potentially highly charged London derby is taking place on a Sunday afternoon. With Spurs not in the Europa League this game should have been reserved for Saturday morning, to ensure any potential pre-match drinking could have been tempered. let's hope the game goes down without incident.
Teams should be with us in the next 20 minutes, but how might both sides line up?
Erik Lamela and Danny Rose are definitely out for Tottenham, who are expected to recall Michel Vorm, Kieran Trippier and Harry Winks.
Steve Morison and Jed Wallace have recently returned for Millwall and should be available. But former Spurs 'keeper Jordan Archer is a doubt having missed the last four games.
Bournemouth, Watford and Leicester have already been vanquished from the FA Cup by Millwall, but can they add another name to that list and reach the semi-final? Neil Harris' League One promotion contenders travel to Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon, just a win away from a trip to Wembley.
But with the Premier League title all-but out of sight, Mauricio Pochettino's hopes of ending his major trophy drought rest on the FA Cup. Champions League qualification might be the priority but what a way it would be the start a new era at Spurs with a piece of silverware. Today is the last cup tie to played at the old White Hart Lane, and Daniel Levy will want to see a send off fitting of this old ground.
Team news and updates on the way ahead of the 2pm kick-off.
