Tottenham predicted lineup vs Tamworth - FA Cup | OneFootball

Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur must dust themselves down after their midweek win over Liverpool for an entirely different battle on Sunday - one that sees them travel to fifth-tier Tamworth in the FA Cup.

One of Spurs' most measured and controlled performances of the season kept Liverpool at bay in a 1-0 victory on Wednesday night, and a draw at Anfield next month will see them into March's Carabao Cup final.

With a mid-table Premier League finish currently projected, this season is all about the cups for the Lilywhites. They have the potential to compete on multiple fronts down the stretch with their injury problems easing in February. For Sunday's cup tie, though, Postecoglou is working with the same streamlined group of players.

The Spurs boss will be wary of using his available big guns with the North London Derby looming, so there should be a few runouts for unfamiliar and forgotten faces.

Tottenham predicted lineup vs Tamworth (4-3-3)

GK: Antonin Kinsky - The January arrival took just a couple of days to endear himself to the fanbase, and he could get another chance to settle before Wednesday's derby. Kinsky looks the part.

RB: Djed Spence - There's no need for Pedro Porro here, so we could see the impressive Spence switch flanks and start at right-back.

CB: Radu Dragusin - Bereft of centre-back options due to injury, Dragusin is likely to continue in defence due to his aerial ability. Tommy Tonks and his long throws await.

CB: Alfie Dorrington - Postecoglou has been reluctant to use the teenage Enfieldian despite Spurs' unavailability at centre-back, and Dorrington is yet to make his first senior start for the club. Surely he'll be used here to offer Archie Gray some respite.

LB: Sergio Reguilon - The Spaniard's perseverance has to be commended, and he could be rewarded with an incredibly rare start in Tamworth.

CM: Yves Bissouma - Tottenham don't have much choice but to go strong in midfield. With Rodrigo Bentancur out, Bissouma will likely retain his place at the base of Spurs' engine room.

CM: James Maddison - One of two players likely to make the XI having been suspended on Wednesday, Maddison will aim to put on a show for the home crowd on Sunday.

CM: Pape Sarr - Sarr was also suspended in midweek and it's unlikely we'll see much of Lucas Bergvall given his likely inclusion in the North London Derby starting lineup. With the Swede impressing lately, Sarr has slipped down the pecking order.

RW: Yang Min-hyeok - Not much is known about the young South Korean winger, and this would be quite the place to get his first taste of English football.

ST: Will Lankshear - Dominic Solanke desperately needs a breather and there's no doubt he'll be rested for the derby. As a result, young Lankshear, who scored in Istanbul earlier this season, will get the nod up top.

LW: Mikey Moore - Having missed two months of football due to illness, Moore was back in the matchday squad on Wednesday and is in contention for a start over Timo Werner.
