Marine host Tottenham in the showpiece game of the FA Cup third round live on TV.
Marine are gearing up for the biggest game in their history when they face Premier League Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup third round this weekend.
This batch of FA Cup fixtures has thrown up some enticing mismatches, but none quite so stark as Marine FC – in the eighth tier of English football – testing their mettle against Jose Mourinho's top tier title-chasers.
The Crosby-based side welcome Spurs to Rossett Park, several miles north of Liverpool's city centre.
While they may not be backed by a raucous crowd inside the ground, the nation will tune in this weekend hoping to witness an iconic upset.
Spurs supporters have pitched in with efforts to raise funds for the non-league club who stand to miss out on a potential £100,000 worth of matchday revenue due to the empty stands.
Over 6,000 'virtual tickets' have been sold, while Marine have also offered all Spurs season tickets holders a free match ticket for a game of their choice once COVID-19 restrictions lift.
