It's an all-Premier League clash in the FA Cup as Swansea host Tottenham. Opta crunches the numbers so you don't have to.

"Spurs’ Son Heung-Min has had a hand in 13 goals in his last 10 starts in the FA Cup (9 goals, 4 assists)."

Son is 2.56/4 to score.

Spurs are unbeaten in their last 15 games against the Swans in all competitions (W12 D3), drawing at Wembley and winning 2-0 at Liberty Stadium in the Premier League this season. Tottenham are 1.4740/85 to win.

Swansea's last win over Spurs did come, however, in a cup competition, winning 1-0 in a League Cup tie in September 1991 at Vetch Field under Frank Burrows. The Swans are 9.28/1 to roll back the years.

This is Swansea's first appearance in the FA Cup quarter-finals since 1964 (when they were known as Swansea Town) - they reached the semi-final that year, eliminating Liverpool in the quarter-final. Swansea are 4.57/2 to make the semi-finals.

Spurs are aiming to reach the FA Cup semi-finals in back to back seasons for the first time since the 1981/82 season - they won the competition that year. Tottenham are 2.26/5 to win half-time/full-time.

Spurs' Son Heung-Min has had a hand in 13 goals in his last 10 starts in the FA Cup (9 goals, 4 assists). Son is 2.56/4 to score.

Tammy Abraham has been involved in five goals in his last two FA Cup appearances at Liberty Stadium (2 goals, 3 assists). Abraham is 4.57/2 to find the net.

Spurs - who have already eliminated Newport from the FA Cup this season - could become the first team since Southend United in 1975/76 to eliminate two Welsh sides in a single campaign, with the Shrimpers knocking out Cardiff and Swansea. Tottenham are 2.26/5 to win to nil.
