Tottenham Hotspur Team News
The Spurs finally produce performances that they desperately needed. They beat Crystal Palace away 0-4 and finally kept a clean sheet after more than two months. Harry Kane scored two goals and the most important thing is that Son score a goal, which is his first goal this season when he starts a game.
That victory improves the mood around the squad a little bit after two disappointing results against Brentford and Aston Villa, and now Tottenham keeps connection with teams above for a place in the top four.
In front of Tottenham is a very, very difficult schedule in the next couple of weeks. They will have to play against Arsenal next week, Manchester City twice, Fulham away, Leicester City, Milan, West Ham, and Chelsea. This is their schedule until the end of February.
Antonio Conte will use this FA Cup game to rest some key players because next weekend Tottenham will host Arsenal in a huge game. After elimination from the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup is very important for Conte and Tottenham, because this is probably the only competition that is left where they can try to win something.
Portsmouth Team News
Another disappointing season for Portsmouth. The ex-Premier League member is stuck in League One (3rd tier) since 2017 and every season their main goal is to be promoted to the Championship but they always fail.
This season is no different. Portsmouth is 12th on the table with 31 points and seven wins after 22 games. They are in the run of nine games without a win in the league and because of that, they sacked their manager Danny Cowley this week. Simon Beasley will be an interim manager for this game against Tottenham.
In the last two and a half months, Portsmouth only has wins in the FA Cup and EFL Trophy. For another season they struggled with scoring goals. They scored only 29 goals in the league and in the last 10 league games they scored only seven goals.
The injuries are making life more difficult for them because Portsmouth has a lot of absentees in the squad and Beasley will call a couple of academy players for this game.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Portsmouth Prediction
Antonio Conte will rotate a squad. We expect that players like Fraser Forster, Ben Davies, Japhet Tanganga, and Davinson Sanchez will play in defence. Skipp or Sar will start in midfield and Bryan Gil will get a lot of minutes. Because of the injuries up front Son and/or Kane will start.
Tottenham is a favourite here and must win and advance in the next round, but because of a lot of rotation in the squad, we expect a lot of goals. Portsmouth can easily score one goal against these players because we all know how much Tottenham is struggling with defence.
