When is it?
Kick-off is 2.00pm on Sunday, 12 March, at White Hart Lane.
Where can I watch it?
BBC One will be broadcasting the game. Coverage starts at 1.30pm.
It’s a big game for…
Tony Craig. For Craig and the Millwall backline as a whole, Sunday’s game poses a big test. The Lions are the only team in the top four leagues who have yet to lose a game this calendar year. To add to that, they’ve only conceded two goals in their last 13 games. But with players like Harry Kane and Dele Alli on the prowl, it’s likely their impressive 2017 record could be about to come to an end.
Best stat…
Tottenham have never lost at home to Millwall, winning 12 and drawing two of their 14 meetings.
Player to watch…
Harry Kane. With eight goals to his name from Tottenham’s last four games, as well as the February Player of the Month award, Kane currently looks unstoppable. The England international was deadly against Stoke, clinching an impressive hat-trick at home, and helped fired Spurs to an important victory over Everton with a brace. If his last FA Cup appearance is anything to go by, Millwall’s defence should be in for a torrid afternoon of football.

28 MINS
A corner kick falls to Vertonghen on the edge of the area, he goes for goal but it flies way over the target.
31 MINS
GOAL
TOTTENHAM 1 - 0 MILLWALL
Out of nowhere, Eriksen creates a chance for himself and opens the scoring with a moment of magic. The ball falls to him inside of the area and he turns and swings at the strike with his right boot. Top strike.
Game on.
34 MINS
Wallace shows a burst of brilliance, as he beats Wanyama down the right and charges deep into the Spurs half. His delivery into the box fails to find a Millwall shirt, but it's encouraging from the 22-year-old.
35 MINS
Wanyama rattles the woodwork with a headed attempt from an Eriksen corner.
38 MINS
Eriksen bursts into the Millwall box, but his delivery is volleyed to safety by Webster. The visitors look strong and organised defensively.
41 MINS
GOAL
TOTTENHAM 2 - 0 MILLWALL
Son has scored an absolute rocket from the right-hand side to double Tottenham's tally. He charges into the box at an angle and strikes the ball into the back of the net with his left foot. He'll be over the moon with that one.
Game on!
HALF TIME
Spurs enter the interval with a two goal advantage, following two super strikes from Eriksen and Son. The premature departure of Kane just minutes into the fixture failed to knock the home side's confidence, as his replacement opened the scoring with a moment of magic. Millwall looked resolute for a while, but it was not enough to contain an on-form Spurs side.
The visitors will need to change things around at half time, if they stand any chance of starting a comeback.
