The FA Cup third round, when the Premier League and Championship sides enter the competition, is always accompanied by the narratives of giant-killings and David vs Goliath encounters. There is perennial interest in the lowest-ranked side left in the competition and this year that honour falls on Tamworth, a non-league side currently 16th in the National League – the fifth tier of English football.
No fewer than 95 league places further up the football pyramid lie their opponents on Sunday, January 12: Tottenham Hotspur, who possess stars such as Son Heung-min, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke. Not only that, but Spurs are the fifth most successful side in the history of the FA Cup, winning it eight times.
The allure of this mis-match is enhanced by the fact it’s being played at Tamworth’s home of The Lamb Ground, which has a capacity of just 4,963 and only 518 seats. The stage is set for a classic FA Cup tie, and the best part is that there is a Tamworth vs Tottenham free stream courtesy of ITVX.
