Tottenham Hotspur face Newport County in an FA Cup fourth round replay at Wembley Stadium tomorrow (February 7) having been held to a 1-1 draw in South Wales.
Spurs were perhaps taken a little by surprise by the League Two outfit in the first game and will be keen not to be embarrassed by the Exiles on their home turf, but here are three youngsters who should still get a chance on the day.

Juan Foyth
Signed from Estudiantes in his native Argentina over the summer, Foyth has been gradually introduced into the first team with five appearances for his new club to date.
The 20-year-old played in the first game against Newport and impressed and there is no reason to think the South American should not be given another chance.
Kazaiah Sterling
With nine goals in 22 Under-23s matches for Tottenham this season, Sterling looks to be one of the most exciting current prospects from their academy.
The 19-year-old has already made his senior debut in 2017/18 with a two-minute cameo in the Champions League, but with Harry Kane so heavily relied upon and Fernando Llorente failing to live up to expectations, maybe blooding another option in attack would not be such a bad thing.

Kyle Walker-Peters
After the departure of near namesake Kyle Walker to Manchester City many believed this academy product would get more opportunities this campaign and while that has been true, six appearances to date is perhaps fewer than expected.
Walker-Peters remains a promising talent and with the ability to play as either a right or left-back there is no reason manager Mauricio Pochettino can’t find a spot for him in this clash.
