Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino vows to go all out for 'magic' FA Cup ahead of Wimbledon showdown

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has insisted that he will take the FA Cup seriously this season, starting with Sunday's third-round tie at home to AFC Wimbledon.

Pochettino described the competition as 'magic' and admitted he cannot take any chances after Spurs fell 2-0 and 3-2 down at home to Wycombe at White Hart Lane last season before winning 4-3.

'The FA Cup is a special competition,' said the Argentine. 'Wimbledon are in League One but always it is tough. When we played Wycombe it was so difficult. The FA Cup is magic and anything can happen.
