Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Scott Parker has admitted that winning against Coventry City in the FA Cup will be "tough".

Spurs will host the League One side at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

"These games always turn out to be tricky and not quite as easy as everyone suspects," he told Spurs' official website. "It will be a tough game and Coventry are doing well in their own league as well.

"It will be difficult. We need to be at it and continue where we've left off in the last couple of weeks - and get the result.

"We need to be solid and try to get out of the blocks quickly, to get up against them, try to get an early goal and then dominate the game."

Coventry have won seven away games in League One so far this season.
