The Football Association have now announced the Match Day officials that will take charge of the game between Rochdale and Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday.
Rochdale host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday February 18 for the FA Cup Fifth Round tie at Spotland Stadium and the match carries a 4pm kick off.

Match Day referee Madley has officiated 22 games in 2017/18 showing 80 yellow cards and five red cards so far.
He took in 35 games in 2016/17 with a return of 146 yellow cards and four red cards.
That season his highest card count was eight yellows between Tottenham and Liverpool in August. He also showed seven yellows and one red in the match between Southend United and Scunthorpe United.
He took in 35 matches in 2015-16 and in those games, across all competitions and football divisions, he handed out a total of 96 yellow cards and six red cards.
He was most card happy in the match between Chelsea and West Ham in March with eight yellows being shown, prior to that Chelsea and Southampton in October saw seven yellows.
Let`s hope it`s not another repeat and more of the players edge closer to automatic bans.
