Match Preview

It has been a mixed season to this point for Tottenham, and that has seen the questions begin to be asked of Ange Postecoglou. However, Spurs come into the third round weekend after one of their best performances of the season in midweek after overcoming Liverpool to record a 1-0 win in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final.

That was a much-needed win for Spurs, as it ended a four-game winless run across all competitions. However, the pressure that Tottenham will be under this weekend is increased, as they will be heavily expected to overcome their National League opponents with ease.

Tamworth will be hoping to give a good account of themselves at home this weekend, but a response will be needed after going three without a win across all competitions. They were last in action on Tuesday, suffering a 1-0 loss in the fourth round of the FA Trophy against Sutton United.

Tamworth will be coming up against Premier League opposition for just the second time in their history. Their previous encounter ended in a 2-0 defeat against Everton in 2011-12. This will be their fourth appearance at this stage of the competition, but they are yet to reach the fourth round.

Tottenham have an excellent record against non-league opponents in the FA Cup, progressing from their last nine ties. In fact, you have to go back to 1914-15 for their last defeat. Spurs have also progressed from 17 of their last 18 third round matches in the FA Cup.


Tamworth vs. Tottenham Picks

This will be a money-spinning afternoon for Tamworth in the FA Cup, but the odds will be stacked against them. Tottenham have avoided shocks against non-league teams in their last nine encounters, and it looks challenging to see that trend being broken on Sunday.
