Tottenham will kick off their FA Cup campaign on Saturday (January 7) when they host Portsmouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The League One outfit, who're on a four-game winless run, will look to end their dry spell and cause an upset.
Tottenham, meanwhile, returned to winning ways in style, seeing off Crystal Palace 4-0 at Selhurst Park in midweek.
Before that, Antonio Conteโs side were on a three-game winless run, drawing two. Tottenham, who're fifth in the Premier League, will look to build on their midweek result and kick off their cup campaign on a high.
