Sheffield United v Tottenham Hotspur: FA Cup tie 'good change' from promotion bid for Blades

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom has said he expects their FA Cup fifth-round tie against Tottenham to be a "special night".

The Blades are second in the Championship, seven points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough.

"We have to perform in a way that gets the fans up and at it. There'll be moments when we have to suffer without the ball," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I think it will be a special night regardless of the result."

He added: "It's one that all of us should enjoy because if we don't enjoy it we're not going to win anyway.
