Spurs face non-League opponents in one of the pick of the third-round ties
National League side Tamworth are out to cause a major shock in a real David versus Goliath contest.
Spurs are on a high after a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday and will hope their quality sees them through comfortably.
Tamworth have already shocked Macclesfield, Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion to reach this stage but are not in great form having lost their last two games without scoring.
With an attendance of 4,963 and an artificial pitch at the Lamb Ground, this has all the ingredients of an FA Cup classic.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game...
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.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on ITV.

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.
Tottenham to win 5-0.
This is the first ever meeting between Tamworth and Tottenham.
Tamworth to go through: 12/1
Tottenham to go through: 1/50
