Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Coventry City

In-form Tottenham Hotspur face League One side Coventry City at White Hart Lane in the third round of the FA Cup.

Spurs have won four of their last five Premier League games, the latest being a 3-1 win at home against Reading on New Year's Day.

Coventry have moved up to 11th in League One with a good run of form that has seen them win four from six, but they did lose 1-0 at home to Shrewsbury Town last time.

Andre Villas-Boas might be tempted to rest a number of his first-choice XI for the visit of Coventry, with Jermain Defoe and Moussa Dembele likely to be left out.
