- Tottenham are unbeaten in their last five visits to Vicarage Road.
- Mark Falco is a name familiar to both sets of fans. The striker played at White Hart Lane for nine years before making the switch to Watford where he scored 14 times in his solitary season there.
- Watford have won one and lost seven of their last eight FA Cup games against top-flight opposition.
- Tottenham meanwhile, have only lost once in 33 FA Cup games against lower-league opposition - 3-2 to Leicester in 2006.
