Tottenham defender Dier: Ings must be watched

Tottenham defender Eric Dier says they must silence Danny Ings if they're to win tonight's FA Cup replay against Burnley.

Tottenham are favourites to progress but Dier is not taking the Clarets lightly, especially given the form of England U21 team-mate Ings.

"Danny Ings is a massive threat and he's probably their most dangerous player," Dier told Spurs' official website.

"I've played with him for England Under-21s and I've seen at close quarters that he's a really good player.

"He's shown that he's very sharp, so we'll have to keep an eye on him.

"In terms of the game itself, Burnley made it difficult for us and their style of play was tough to play against last week but at White Hart Lane we fancy our chances, especially with our recent home form going in our favour."
