Minnows Marine land Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham in third round of the Emirates FA Cup

November 30, 2020 by Tony Bugby

It was a dream Emirates FA Cup, third-round draw for non-league clubs Marine, Stockport County and Chorley.

Minnows Marine, only the second club from the eighth tier to reach round three, have been drawn at home to Premier League leaders Tottenham Hotspur.

It will provide Neil Young with the opportunity to pit his wits against Jose Mourinho, one of the most successful managers in history.

“It is an unbelievable draw. We have seven games under our belt to get here and that is the reward,” he said.

Marine won at League Two Colchester United in the first round and enjoyed an extra-time victory against Havant and Waterlooville in round two.

Stockport County, who were handed a reprieve in the final qualifying round when losing to Chesterfield who fielded an ineligible player, are also at home to Premier League opposition, West Ham.

The National League Hatters won at Rochdale in round one and overcame Yeovil Town after extra time in round two.

National League North club Chorley, who won at Wigan Athletic and Peterborough United in the first two rounds, have been drawn at home to Wayne Rooney’s Derby County.

Other minnows with glamour ties are Morecambe who visit Chelsea and Crawley who host Leeds United.

Elsewhere locally, Oldham Athletic are at home to AFC Bournemouth who were in the Premier League last season.

And it provides the prospect of Cherries’ striker Sam Surridge returning to the club where he enjoyed a successful loan spell two seasons ago.

The two Manchester clubs have both been drawn at home, both to Championship clubs.

United host Watford while City entertain Birmingham City.

Another huge all-Premier League tie sees Aston Villa host Premier League champions Liverpool who they recently beat 7-2.

Draw:

Huddersfield Town v Plymouth Argyle

Southampton v Shrewsbury Town

Chorley v Derby County

Marine v Tottenham Hotspur

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Crystal Palace

Stockport County v West Ham United

Oldham Athletic v Bournemouth

Manchester United v Watford

Stevenage v Swansea
