Winning FA Cup will not make us successful, claims Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham prepare to take on League One Rochdale

Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham have bigger priorities than the FA Cup — because he will be leading them to Premier League or Champions League glory in the near future.

The Spurs boss believes his team sent shockwaves around the world with their magnificent draw at Juventus in midweek and will rest his star men at Rochdale on Sunday.

Harry Kane, nursing a minor ankle injury, is among those likely to miss the trip.
