Tottenham are on "another level" compared to the other Premier League sides Millwall have already faced in the FA Cup this season, according to Neil Harris.

The two London clubs have been drawn against eachother in the quarter-finals, with the last ever cup tie to be played at White Hart Lane set to take place on the weekend commencing March 11.

Spurs have beaten Aston Villa, Wycombe Wanderers and Fulham to reach this stage of the competition and have been installed as one of the favourites to lift the trophy.

League One outfit Millwall, meanwhile, have a claimed a trio of top-flight scalps - Bournemouth, Watford and Leicester City - to book their place in the last eight.

The south Londoners have already proved they are capable of punching about their weight but Harris believes the prospect of facing Mauricio Pochettino's side will represent another step up in class.

"It's a cracking draw for everyone associated with this football club," Harris told Millwall's official website.

"The players have had the opportunity to test themselves against some of the best Premier League teams in the previous three rounds but in many ways this is another level altogether.

"Spurs are a fantastic side and this gives my players a chance to see how they can compete with some truly outstanding footballers."

A short trip across the capital to White Hart Lane is set to be a memorable occasion for Millwall, who have never won the tournament but were losing finalists in 2004.

However, Harris is keen for the lucrative tie not overshadow their fight for a play-off place in the third tier.

"White Hart Lane is a fantastic stadium, a great place to play football, and it's a tie we're very much looking forward to.

"But we can't look beyond what is to come between now and then, which starts with a hugely important League game against Chesterfield at The Den on Tuesday night," he added.
