Spurs v Barnsley - Mauricio's preview

Of the seven domestic cup ties we faced last term, five were against teams from other divisions and all of those ended in victories, with a whopping 20 goals scored and three conceded, all of which were against Wycombe Wanderers in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Asked how he prepares his squad for a game like this, Mauricio said: "The players are ready to compete again. They know they have the possibility to play and they are excited.

"Everyone wants to play and it’s up to us to manage and provide the team with the tools to play well and try to win.
