Tottenham had to wait a week longer than most teams to discover their FA Cup fifth-round opponents after Antonio Conte's men were drawn to take on either Wrexham or Sheffield United. The two teams separated by three divisions and 71 teams played out a six-goal thriller at the Racecourse Ground where a late goal from John Egan forced a replay for the Blades.
Son Heung-min was the star of the show in Spurs' fourth-round win against Championship Preston North End, with the South Korea international netting a brace before Arnaut Danjuma scored on his debut. Harry Kane watched on from the bench after suffering with illness throughout the week before he returned to the starting XI to break Jimmy Greaves' 266-goal record in the monumental win over Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
Conte's men have four fixtures before their fifth-round tie is contested with league meetings against Leicester, West Ham and Chelsea sandwiching their last-16 Champions League first-leg clash at San Siro against AC Milan and Spurs will be set for another long trip in early March to fight for a spot in the FA Cup sixth round

Spurs will take on Sheffield United on Wednesday, March 1. In the competition's other ties Stoke will take on Brighton, Leicester facing Blackburn, Manchester United welcoming West Ham to Old Trafford and in perhaps the tie of the round Manchester City heading to Ashton Gate for their round five encounter against Bristol City.
The game at Bramall Lane between Wrexham and Sheffield United was level at the break with James McAtee missing a golden opportunity for the hosts. However, that was soon forgotten about with Anel Ahmedhodzic firing the Blades in front just five minutes after the interval.
Ahmedhodzic soon turned villain though when he gave away a penalty that was converted by Paul Mullin just before the hour mark. The Wrexham talisman then missed another spot-kick after a clumsy foul from Oliver Norwood.
The game looked to be heading for extra time but a late goal from Billy Sharp quickly followed by a clinical finish from Sander Berge put Sheffield United through to the fifth round. Spurs will therefore travel north for their FA Cup fifth-round fixture where they will be hoping for a round four repeat by beating Championship opposition away from London.
