Welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE coverage of the FA Cup third round tie between Middlesbrough and Tottenham.
Spurs come up against a side led by the man who scored the winner the last time they won a major trophy in Jonathan Woodgate. The former defender nodded home the extra-time winner when the north Londoners beat Chelsea in the 2008 League Cup final.
Jose Mourinho will be eager to deliver an overdue piece of silverware in his first season at the club. Woogate, along with another Spurs favourite in Boro's assistant manager Robbie Keane, stand in their way.
Today's match kicks off at 2:01pm GMT, with a 60-second delay coming as part of the FA's 'Heads Up' campaign.
Prediction: Middlesbrough 1-2 Tottenham
Spurs have been slow starters this season and could struggle early doors if Boro and the home crowd are confident of an upset, but Mourinho has a knack of winning trophies - and that should see them through in the second half.
