Rochdale v Spurs - opposing manager's view

Our hosts this weekend, struggling at the bottom of League One, have reached this stage of the competition for only the third time in their history.

Ahead of the 4pm kick-off at the Crown Oil Arena, Hill said: “If you look at Coventry beating Stoke, Wigan beating West Ham and Bournemouth, I think on a matchday it’s two worlds colliding, but it’s two sets of players competing.

“Tottenham will be competitive, but we’ve got to be as keen and as competitive as we’ve always been. We need intelligent energy, and we won’t differ too far away from the way that we do things, if at all, and it’s important that the players embrace the occasion.
