Tamworth, hailing from the National League North, will be hoping to upset the odds and pull off a remarkable victory against their illustrious opponents. With a history of giant-killing exploits, Tamworth will take inspiration from their past success against higher-division teams.
Tottenham, on the other hand, will be looking to avoid an embarrassing slip-up against lower-league opposition and maintain their impressive form under manager Antonio Conte. The Londoners have been in scintillating form this season, and a victory at the Lamb Ground will boost their confidence heading into the second half of the campaign.
