The upcoming London derby between Crystal Palace and Tottenham has been rescheduled due to Spurs’ FA Cup fifth-round replay with Rochdale.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side were forced to take the League One strugglers back to Wembley, having taken the lead in the 88th minute through a Harry Kane penalty, after Rochdale striker Steve Davies levelled deep in added time.

The result means Spurs are taken to a second cup replay by lower league opposition in consecutive rounds as they look to make quarter-finals in back-to-back season.

Due to both clubs' packed schedules, with Spurs in the Champions League and Rochdale racking up a number of games in hand in League One, the replay has been provisionally scheduled for Wednesday, February 28.

The trip to Selhurst Park was initially scheduled for 8pm on Monday, February 26 but has now been moved to Sunday, February 25 at 12pm.

Crystal Palace have confirmed that tickets purchased for the original Monday night game will still be valid at for the fixture.

Sky Sports will also still be showing the game.
