It could be an historic night for Rochdale as they make only their second trip to Wembley Stadium for a fifth round FA Cup replay against Premier League side Tottenham.

The trip comes almost ten years after the club's first, after Steven Davies scored an equaliser against Spurs over a week ago.

The goal sparked wild celebrations at the Crown Oil Arena, and earned Dale a deserved replay.

Speaking after the match, manager Keith Hill said: "For us to score the goal that we did was tremendous and a marvelous feeling for the players. In the second half it was more testing, knowing that the opposition were probably going to have the lions share of the possession and opportunities but i thought the players were fantastic in their response.

"I think the players have to try and go again in a similar manner and treat the occasion as equally important as last time.

"I'm trying to take the pressure off the players so they can play free of any pressure. Why not try and take them on - why not try and win?"
