Middlesbrough v Tottenham Hotspur live stream, Tuesday 1 March, 7.55pm GMT
Tottenham can take a step towards their first trophy in 14 years when they travel to Middlesbrough on Tuesday, but the Championship outfit have already proven their giant-killing credentials this season.
Boro knocked out Manchester United in the fourth round, winning a penalty shoot-out at Old Trafford after a 1-1 draw.
That result will have filled them with confidence, and their sensational recent home form is another reason for optimism.
Chris Wilder’s side have won their last seven games in a row at the Riverside, a run of form that has helped them to eighth place in the Championship.
The visitors have had a turbulent few weeks, beating Manchester City before a defeat to Burnley that caused manager Antonio Conte to suggest he could walk out of the club.
A 4-0 victory over Leeds at the weekend calmed the waters though, and they head to the north-east aiming for a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Spurs’ long wait for silverware is well documented, with their last trophy coming in 2008 when they lifted the League Cup, and their last FA Cup success came all the way back in 1991.
But Conte is a serial trophy winner with a proven track record, having won this competition with Chelsea in 2017/18.
Middlesbrough haven’t beaten Tottenham in any competition since a 2-1 Premier League win in August 2008, losing four of their five meetings since then.
Kick-off is at 7.55pm GMT on Tuesday 1 March, and it is on BBC One and BBC Two Wales. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
