It's 25 years since Gazza's tears at Wembley. It's 55 years since Danny Blanchflower, Dave Mackay and friends completed the league and cup double. If history might not be on Spurs' side, current form suggests the class of 2016 are capable of rubbing shoulders with those legends as they chase success on three fronts.

For Crystal Palace, the FA Cup offers the chance to revive a season that promised so much before Christmas.
Their recent slump has coincided with an injury to Yannick Bolasie, so his likely return is a massive boost.
And then there's the prospect of Emmanuel Adebayor returning to White Hart Lane....

Jason's View
This weekend it's back on the road to Wembley against in-form Crystal Palace, who we have already taken 6 points from this season.
The Europa tie at Fiorentina showed major rotation and it's hard to predict what side Poch will pick.
Kane was rested v Leicester in Rd3 but played the easier tie at Colchester in Rd4, the only player who hasn't had a rest recently is Eriksen.
Palace are horrendously out of form although ominously Adebuypoor did get on the score-sheet last week, and key player Bolassie is expected to return.
I'll go 2-1 with Adebayor to score but that's more of a guess than any prediction.
