Former Tottenham player Justin Edinburgh brings his Gillingham side to White Hart Lane on Wednesday in the hope of repeating the feat they achieved in the last round, namely knocking another Premier League side out of the competition.

Let’s take a look at the possible starting XI for the match against Gillingham and a look at each players background.
