Spurs warned of Stevenage threat

Tottenham Hotspur have been warned that they could face a giant-slaying after being drawn with Stevenage in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Spurs advanced after defeating Watford 1-0 on Friday, while Stevenage saw off Notts County 1-0 on Saturday.

"We will fancy our chances against Spurs," Stevenage player-coach Mark Roberts said. "We always back ourselves at home and in the last few seasons in cup competitions our record has been second to none.

"It's a great moment for the football club and the fans are very excited about it.

"It's a local derby as such and we're looking forward to it."

Stevenage are currently sixth in the League One table with 45 points from 27 games.
