The FA Cup is all about titanic clashes between sides at opposite ends of the soccer pyramid, and that is exactly what we have this weekend, as Premier League Tottenham travel to National League Tamworth.
The National League hosts have already batted off rivals in previous rounds of the FA Cup this season, and their spot in the third round was secured with a shock victory at Hartlepool in the second round.
Tottenham will be overwhelming favorites in the betting this weekend, but Spurs will need an improved showing on what is likely to be a difficult match on an artificial surface in the Midlands.
