Tottenham fans can start making their travel arrangements for their FA Cup third round tie against non-league side Tamworth. In Monday evening's FA Cup draw, Ange Postecoglou's side were drawn away against the National League outfit.
Tamworth have already made big headlines in the famous competition this season after getting the better of League One sides Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion in round one and round two respectively. Andy Peaks' team will now welcome Spurs to The Lamb Ground for what should be an intriguing third round tie.
As expected, the FA Cup clash has been selected for live TV coverage. The game is now in the calendar for 12.30pm on Sunday, January 12, with ITV1 the place to watch the fixture.
The FA Cup game comes between Tottenham's home game against Newcastle United on Saturday, January 4 and their away fixture at Arsenal on Wednesday, January 15. Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Bournemouth game, Postecoglou was asked about the FA Cup draw and he admitted that he does already know a little bit about their third round opponents.
"It's an exciting bit of the cup. I was watching it with my boys, and they asked me a million questions about Tamworth, and I had to do some quick Googling," he said. "Actually no, to be fair, I'd watched the previous round. I like watching the FA Cup games. So I saw how they'd got through, so I knew a little bit about them.
"II's a beautiful part of the FA Cup. I'm sure they're buzzing to have a Premier League team there. It's great for us because it's a tie that will obviously have a little bit of interest around it and yeah one I look forward to."
