Tamworth play host to Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur in an FA Cup third-round tie at the Lamb Ground this Sunday. National League side Tamworth will be hoping to spring a massive upset this weekend.

Tamworth vs Tottenham Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Unsurprisingly given the huge gap in league places, Tamworth have never played Tottenham before. However, the away side have faced 12 non-league opponents in the FA Cup before. Most recently, they travelled to Marine in 2021, and comfortably won 0-5.
• While Sunday's game will be Tottenham's first in this season's FA Cup, the match will mark Tamworth's fourth in the competition. They have beaten Macclesfield, Huddersfield and Burton Albion to get to this point.
• Tottenham's EFL Cup semi-final first-leg win over Liverpool this Wednesday was their first in five matches, following Premier League losses to Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, as well as a draw with Wolves.
• Tamworth are the lowest-ranked side still remaining in the FA Cup, with the only other National League team in the competition being Dagenham & Redbridge, who face Millwall on Monday. Remarkably, Dagenham sit just one spot above Tamworth in the current league table!
• Given their current injury crisis, there's a high likelihood that Ange Postecoglou will pick a young Tottenham side for this game. This could mean starts for the likes of Mikey Moore, Alfie Dorrington and Will Lankshear, as well as Korean teenager Yang Min-Hyeok.

Tamworth vs Tottenham Prediction

In many ways, this is the kind of classic FA Cup tie that feels ripe for an upset.

Tamworth will look to make things uncomfortable for their Premier League opponents in a small ground with an artificial pitch. And Tottenham have been famously inconsistent this season, often slipping up against lower-end opponents.

With that said, Ange Postecoglou's side looked brilliant against Liverpool this week, and that game may have handed them their mojo back. More to the point, the gulf in class is likely to be too much for Tamworth to overcome here, particularly with some young Tottenham stars looking to prove themselves in the first XI.

Therefore, we expect a big away win in this one.

Prediction: Tamworth 0-5 Tottenham
