Tottenham Hotspur defender Gareth Bale is determined to help the club win major silverware this season and feels they have enough quality to overcome Leeds in The FA Cup Fourth Round replay.
After producing one of the biggest shocks in the competition this season, when they beat Manchester United in the Third Round, Leeds showed their fighting spirit once again when they came away with a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane.
Jermaine Beckford stole all the headlines with his winning goal at Old Trafford and came to League One Leeds' rescue again when he scored twice at Tottenham.
Despite being taken to a replay, Bale is hoping their Premier League experience will see them come through a tricky tie at Elland Road and keep alive Tottenham hopes of winning the competition for the first time since 1991.
"Every game is important," said Bale. "We want to do as well as we can in every league game and every Cup game.
"We want to win every game, the best we can do. The FA Cup is a route back into Europe and we just want to do the best we can in every competition.
"I think this year is a big year. We want to keep playing as well as we can and win every game now. I think here we've got the squad to do that and we just want to keep working hard and hopefully the results will follow."
After winning The FA Cup with Portsmouth back in 2008, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp would love the chance to lead his side out at Wembley again and believes The FA Cup has lost none of its magic.
Redknapp said: "For me there is still magic in The Cup and it is a fantastic competition. You still get some great cup games and they take some beating."
