Watch Tranmere Rovers FC Vs. Tottenham Hotspur FA Cup Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, Third-Round Cup Clash
The Premier League giants enter England’s FA Cup competion at the third round to kick off the new year, led by third-place side Tottenham Hotspur on Friday, as Spurs open the first big FA Cup weekend of 2019 by traveling to Merseyside to face League Two club Tranmere Rovers — who have not faced Spurs since 2002 when the clubs faced off in a fifth-round FA Cup match, according to The FA site. Spurs won that one 4-0 after beating TRFC by the same score in a third-round League Cup match earlier the same season. The lower-league side will need to fight hard to avoid a similar result 17 years later, when they host the top flight club in a match that will live stream from Birkenhead.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time on Friday, January 4, at 16,500-seat Prenton Park in Birkenhead, Merseyside, England. Throughout central Europe, that kickoff will come at 8:45 p.m. Central European Time.

Tranmere Rovers played in the even lower-ranked National League last season, before winning promotion to the fourth tier of the English league. They advanced to the third round, earning the right to face Tottenham Hotspur, with a 2-0 win over a National League club, Southport, with both goals scored by 27-year-old striker Conor Jennings, according to Soccerway.
A win by Tranmere would of course constitute a massive upset, but would also mark the first time since 2004 that they advanced to the fourth round of FA Cup, according to the BBC, when they defeated Bolton, then a Premier League side, in a huge upset.
