Ange Postecoglou is a huge fan of the FA Cup and its potential for shocks but will hope his Tottenham Hotspur side can avoid becoming the fall guys in what would be the biggest story of the third round when they travel to fifth-tier Tamworth on Sunday.

Don’t forget 17-year-old Luka Vuskovic – the highest-scoring teenager in Europe’s top 10 leagues – is coming in the summer. Wilson Odobert is 20. Radu Dragusin, Pape Matar Sarr and Destiny Udogie are still 22, Brennan Johnson and Micky van de Ven 23.

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.
