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.

72 MINS
GOAL
TOTTENHAM 4 - 0 MILLWALL
Alli bags for the fourth for Spurs, assisted cleverly by Eriksen. The ball goes across the face of the goal and the 20-year-old charges in and taps it into an open goal.
76 MINS
Wanyama goes for glory from distance, but King dives to his right and manages to parry the strike to safety.
79 MINS
GOAL
TOTTENHAM 5 - 0 MILLWALL
Janssen scores from open play for the first ever time for Tottenham. That's the fifth and surely there is no way back for the Lions now. Son lays the ball off to the scorer just inside of the box and he strikes the ball crisply in the corner.
82 MINS
Janssen comes close to doubling his tally with a headed attempt from six yards out. The ball goes into the box from Davies, but the goalscorer fails to make the most of it. The final whistle can not come quick enough for Millwall.
85 MINS
You have to credit the Millwall side, as they continue to relentlessly hunt possession. It's just not enough and they look unable to contain the quality of Spurs going forward.
