'Yang Min-hyuk and 4 young players who are likely to play against Tamworth.'
Tottenham will face Tamworth of the National League (fifth division) at 9:30 p.m. on the 12th (Korea time) in the third round of the FA Cup (the round of 64) at the Ram Ground in Tamworth, England.
Tamworth, led by head coach Andy Peaks, is a 'underdog' who reached the round of 64 by beating Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion in the third division in the first and second rounds. Asked if he would give young players a chance, Postecoglou said, `With some rotation expected in the relatively weak Tamworth away game, I will team up with players who can win. I hope at least a few players will have time to rest."
Korean fans are paying attention to whether Yang Min-hyuk will make his debut. Yang Min-hyuk was listed on the replacement list with No. 18 in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal against Liverpool. Yang Min-hyuk, who signed a dream contract right after Tottenham's love call in July last year, boarded a flight to London early last month and has been devoted to building up his body for nearly a month.

Ahead of the match against Tamworth, British media Football London picked up a list of Tottenham's Young Gun and five star players who are likely to play in the round of 64 FA Cup, predicting some rotation possibilities.
Yang Min-hyuk took the top of the list. Football London explained that Yang could have a chance to shoot his first arrow at Tottenham this weekend and that he had time to get used to his team-mates and Postecoglou's style in the past few weeks. 'He sat on the bench in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening, but did not receive time to play. At Tamworth on Sunday, he signaled a positive sign of his possible debut, saying, 'Whether he's a starter or a replacement, he's likely to play.'

In addition to Yang Min-hyuk, Football London mentioned four more young guns: Alfie Dorrington, Mikey Moore, Callum Olushesi and Will Rankshear.
In the case of Alfie Dorrington, he saw the possibility of making his official debut to give Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray a chance to catch his breath. If Dorrington starts, it may be best to give him a chance to gain experience behind Tottenham by working with Dragucin, who is adding to his experience behind Tottenham. 'It is regrettable that Jed Spence did not receive more opportunities as he moved to center back against Newcastle last weekend, but he expected that he would desperately try to show his ability if he was chosen by Postecoglou as a player who is well-received within Tottenham.
On Mikey Moore 'Moore, who was sidelined by illness, returned to the bench list for the first time in two months in the Carabao Cup. I think Postecoglou will have to make a decision on whether to put winger Moore as the starter right away or give him a chance to adapt comfortably considering the two-month gap.
As for Callum Olusesi, he judged that he deserved the playing time as he was named in the Tottenham matchday squad 13 times. The midfielder's long-awaited opportunity may come on Sunday. While James Maddison and Pape Sarr are competing for selection against Tamworth after being suspended against Liverpool, Oluse also predicted that Oluse could work with these two players in the midfield.
Finally, against Will Rankshire 'Tamworth is an opportunity for Postecoglou to give Dominique Solanke a much-needed break. Will Rankshire is expected to start on the front line as it is too early for him to return to the Cup.'Rankshire started in two away matches in the Europa League (Perents Barros and Galatasaray) and scored with a brilliant finish in the 18th minute before receiving a red card against Galatasaray on November 8, and also made a one-minute appearance against Southampton in the league. Ahead of the North London derby against Arsenal on the 16th and the league showdown, he predicted the possibility of a surprise change, saying, 'It's a good opportunity to give Solanke a break.'"
