The FA has confirmed Tottenham's FA Cup quarter-final against Millwall will take place on Sunday March 12.

The game, which could be the last-ever Cup tie played at White Hart Lane, has been scheduled to kick-off at 2pm and will be shown live on BBC One.

Spurs booked their place in the last eight with a comfortable victory over Fulham while Millwall shocked Premier League champions Leicester at the Den.

Standard Sport understands Spurs will holds talks with the FA this week regarding Millwall's ticket allocation due to safety fears.

FA Cup rules allow for an allocation of up to 15% for away fans, which equates to 4,700, but it is believed the south Londoners' allocation is likely to be closer to 3,000.

Neil Harris' side have eliminated three top-flight teams from the competition already but the Lions boss has warned his players that Mauricio Pochettino's men represent another step up in class.

Meanwhile, Tottenham's Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace has been postponed due to the former's involvement in the FA Cup and a new date will be announced in due course.
