Find out how to catch the FA Cup clash between Tamworth and Tottenham, including TV and streaming options in both the US and UK
Tottenham had a great week, becoming just the second team to beat Liverpool this season with a 1-0 win in the Carabao Cup semi-final. But all that good momentum could go down the drain if they slip up today.
As the Premier League side, Spurs are the clear favorites, especially since Tamworth is 96 places below them in the football hierarchy. Still, Tamworth has pulled off some surprises already in this tournament.
They knocked out League One side Huddersfield in the first round and then beat Burton Albion in a penalty shootout. If they can pull off a win today, it would be the biggest upset of the third round.
The match kicks off at 12:30 PM UK time, which means US fans will need to wake up early to catch it at 7:30 AM ET or 4:30 AM PT.
In the UK, you can watch it live on ITV1 starting at 11:45 AM, and it’s also available for streaming on ITVX. For those in the US, the game will be streamed on ESPN+.
On the injury front, Rodrigo Bentancur is a new concern for Tottenham after he was stretchered off during the Liverpool match. He’s likely out for a while due to a head injury.
Other injured players include Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie. Richarlison is also expected to miss out, although he’s getting closer to returning.
Fraser Forster might be back from illness, but he could face competition from new signing Antonin Kinsky for the goalkeeper position. Pape Sarr and James Maddison are back after serving suspensions against Liverpool.
