Tottenham Hotspur’s FA Cup third round tie against Tamworth Football Club has been selected for live television coverage.
Tamworth vs Tottenham will be shown live on television
Tamworth who are currently 16th in the National League pulled off a money-spinning tie against Ange Postecoglou‘s side when the FA Cup third round draw took place on Monday evening.
The non-league side have enjoyed a remarkable rise under current manager Andy Peaks who has guided the club to successive promotions.
Tottenham are no strangers to facing off against non-league sides, having been drawn away at minnows Marine in the third round in 2021 while Jose Mourinho was in charge.
Hopefully, there will be a change in form by the time the cup fixture comes around after Tottenham lost 1-0 at Bournemouth on Thursday night to continue their miserable Premier League campaign.
