Tottenham prepares to face Tamworth in the FA Cup, with key players possibly rested ahead of a crucial derby match
Tamworth: Spurs are gearing up for their FA Cup clash this Sunday. Ange Postecoglou might give some players a breather since the squad is feeling a bit stretched.
With the north London derby against Arsenal coming up, he may rest Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke. If Solanke sits this one out, expect Will Lankshear to step in as the striker.
On defense, Sergio Reguilon is set to start at left-back. Djed Spence or Pedro Porro will take the right-back spot, while the other will chill on the bench.
Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray are likely to hold down the center-back positions, but keep an eye on Alfie Dorrington, who’s pushing for his first start.
James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr are back in midfield after serving suspensions. New signing Antonin Kinsky will be in goal, and Timo Werner is expected to lead the attack.
Mikey Moore is back in action, but Rodrigo Bentancur is out due to a concussion from the last match against Liverpool. Postecoglou mentioned that having Mikey back is a boost for the team.
Here’s how Tottenham might line up: Kinsky; Spence, Dorrington, Dragusin, Reguilon; Sarr, Bergvall; Moore, Maddison, Werner; Lankshear.
Injuries are a concern, with players like Vicario, Udogie, Bentancur, and others sidelined. The match kicks off at 12:30 PM GMT on Sunday, January 12, 2025, at The Lamb Ground in Tamworth. You can catch it on ITV1 and ITVX.
