Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham will be in familiar territory for Sunday’s visit to fifth-tier Tamworth, insisting they are used to everyone rooting against them. Spurs visit the 4,000-seater Lamb Ground to take on National League side Tamworth in the pick of the ties on FA Cup third round weekend.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou will welcome the lack of VAR for Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie at Tamworth but will stop speaking about technology. Postecoglou witnessed history in English football on Wednesday when – for the first time – referee Stuart Attwell explained a VAR decision to fans inside the stadium during a 1-0 semi-final first-leg win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.

Ange Postecoglou says his Tottenham players will "respect" Tamworth in Sunday's FA Cup third-round clash, which will be held on an artificial pitch. Tamworth are the lowest-ranked team left of the competition and one of two non-league teams, along with Dagenham & Redbridge, still on the road to Wembley.

Ange Postecoglou has said that even Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah would struggle in his Tottenham side. Salah has been one of the most in-form players in Europe this season, scoring 21 goals in 27 games and helping Liverpool top the Premier League after 19 games.

Ange Postecoglou says he will not rotate heavily for Tottenham ’s trip to fifth-tier Tamworth in the FA Cup third round. Spurs have endured a torrid time of it with injuries this season, and the manager may see the trip to the non-league side as the ideal opportunity where possible to rest key players who have otherwise been stretched across a busy winter period.
