Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur will face AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup this afternoon.

Fans arrive prior to The Emirates FA Cup Third Round match between Tottenham Hotspur and AFC Wimbledon at Wembley Stadium on January 7, 2018 in London, England.

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup this afternoon when they take on AFC Wimbledon at home.

Spurs will head into the third-round tie against AFC Wimbledon at the Wembley Stadium in London as favourites and will fancy their chances of winning strongly today.

The North London outfit are in good form at the moment, although they could only draw 1-1 with West Ham United at home in the Premier League on Thursday evening.

AFC Wimbledon, though, will be eager to cause an FA Cup upset, and the players will be determined to put on a good show.

Playing at Wembley is always special for any team, and Neal Ardley’s side will at least push for a draw.

This is how Tottenham will line up against AFC Wimbledon at Wembley in the FA Cup third round this afternoon:

Meanwhile, former Chelsea and Celtic striker Chris Sutton has predicted Spurs to win against AFC Wimbledon today.

Sutton wrote in The Daily Mail: “This may be Tottenham’s third game in six days but they will be too strong for AFC Wimbledon no matter what team they field.

“Mauricio Pochettino called the Premier League and Champions League the ‘real trophies’ earlier in the season but victory for ‘Wimbledon’ on their Wembley return would be a greater upset than their final win over Liverpool in 1988.”
