Tottenham Hotspur learned who they could potentially face in the FA Cup quarter-finals before even earning a place in the final eight themselves.

Mauricio Pochettino's men play later today as they take on Rochdale at Spotland Stadium in the fifth round.

It is safe to say that the North London outfit are overwhelming favourites to progress at the expense of the League One club, but stranger things have happened.

After a handful of ties were played on Saturday, the draw was made for the quarter-final, and Tottenham learned that if they beat Rochdale they will face either Sheffield United or Swansea City in the next round.

The quarter-final tie will be on away ground for Spurs if they overcome Rochdale this afternoon.

In fact, the so-called 'big' Premier League sides have avoided one another in the final eight, which means that a juicy tie could potentially await in the final.

Even though Tottenham are yet to make it into the quarter-finals, some fans already think that a final-four spot is secured.
