National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Cambridge United or Tottenham U21 that keep their silverware dream alive.
There have been little to rest for the hosts, as they were involved in a League One game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Portsmouth.
