Team News
Tamworth
Tottenham
- Ben Acquaye misses out for the home side, but is Tamworth's only injury absentee.
- Jordan Cullinane-Liburd has served a ban and is expected to return to the starting XI for Sunday's welcome of Tottenham.
- James Maddison and Pape Sarr missed the midweek win over Liverpool due to bans and should start here as a result.
- Richarlison and Fraser Forster are both doubts due to injury and illness, respectively, but Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie and Wilson Odobert miss out.
- Rodrigo Bentancur was stretchered off against Liverpool after a nasty fall and won't feature here.
- Ange Postecoglou may bring Sergio Reguilon, Alfie Dorrington and Mikey Moore into the side, while Yang Min-Hyeok could make his debut.
Hayden Hollis showed off an excellent double drag back turn under pressure from Sarr on 53 minutes.
The hatred I feel for this team no one would be able to understand. The big six is big five and a team that should not be part of the premier league
@TedEriksen You mean they live in your head rent free? Excellent.
@MEHJones I won't even give you an answer, rooting for this team is already punishment enough for you. I forget about that in 3 days, but the disappointment with them is always the next week.
@TedEriksen You just did give me an answer by replying... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And how am I disappointed? Getting through these ties is all that matters.
Tamworth have played very well. Tottenham have not.
31 minutes before the first shot on target.
As Jack Pitt Brooke has pointed out Tottenham's last six wins have been against: "Man City, Aston Villa, Man City, Saints, Man United, Liverpool".
It would be typical Tottenham to beat Liverpool and then lose to Tamworth.
SPURS Kinsky, Porro, Dragusin, Reguilon, Gray, Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison, Johnson, Werner, Moore.
@Marbella Porro! Nooo... He needs a rest.
@Marbella SUBS Austin, Spence, Dorrington, Bergvall, Olusesi, Kulusevski, Son, Solanke, Lankshear.
plastic pitch = bts + over 3.5
Anything less than 3-0 to Tottenham would be embarrassing even with Tottenham's fatigue and injury pile up and the artificial pitch. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if it's 0-0 or 1-1 at half time because it's a cup game and Tamworth will be very much up for it. Tamworth aren't in great form but that might be because they've had one eye on this fixture. Nevertheless, Tottenham should win out by the end of the second half. Expect at least one penalty. Tamworth 1-5 Tottenham.
@MEHJones Yeah... not surprised.
Spurs will be terrified of getting injuries on the 'plastic pitch'.
This game will be on a 3G artificial pitch which will be interesting.
@Marbella Some players will probably cope better than others.
over 2.5 goals
over 1.5 first half goals and over 2.5 match goals
