Tottenham have an FA Cup third round date with Tamworth on Sunday which is the biggest game in the non-league side’s history.
As is always the case when a Premier League side faces lower league opposition, Ange Postecoglou must warn against complacency to avoid being on the wrong side of a giant-killing.
Tamworth have already shocked Macclesfield, Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion to reach this stage but are not in great form ahead of the tie having lost their last two games without scoring.
With an attendance of 4,963 (with just over 500 seated) at Tamworth’s home ground, this has all the ingredients of an FA Cup classic and here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Tamworth vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 12.30pm GMT kick-off on Sunday, January 12, 2024.
The match will take place at the Lamb Ground.

Tamworth vs Tottenham prediction
Premier League quality will tell in this one and whilst Tottenham have been inconsistent this season, when they’re at their best, they are full of goals.
If Spurs can grab an early goal then the floodgates will open and Tamworth could find themselves on the end of a heavy defeat.
