Tottenham boss Pochettino to go with Lloris for FA Cup semi

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is set to go with Hugo Lloris for tomorrow's FA Cup semifinal against Manchester United.

Michel Vorm ­normally plays in FA Cup matches, but Pochettino has hinted No.1 Lloris will start instead on Saturday.

And he believes playing home games at ­Wembley for he past two seasons will not give Spurs an advantage.

Pochettino said: “No, I don't believe so because Manchester United have the experience to play in Wembley too. It's not an advantage for us, not a ­disadvantage for them.

“I think it will be a game that will be typical FA Cup at Wembley — half Tottenham and half Manchester United. It's a different competition and the ­atmosphere will be completely different to the Premier League."
