Tamworth prepare to face Leeds United U21 in the National League Cup group stage on Tuesday evening at The Lamb Ground. The match kicks off at 19:45 as the Lambs look to carry their recent league form into the cup competition.
Tamworth come into the fixture on a two-game winning run in the National League. They followed up a 2-0 home victory over Sutton United with a 1-0 away win at Hartlepool last Friday, a result that moved them up to 18th place in the table with 14 points. Kyle Donnelly scored the winner against Hartlepool, adding to his goal in the win over Sutton.
Leeds United U21, a Premier League academy side, arrive with mixed recent results in the competition. They recorded a 3-2 win away at Solihull Moors but also suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat at Boreham Wood in August.
Recent form and squad
Tamworth's recent form shows three wins from their last five league outings. The team that secured the 2-0 win against Sutton United featured Ryan Lovett in goal, with a back line of Tom Handley, Tom Parkes, James Rye and Reece Calder. The midfield and attack included Tobi Kurtaran, Harry Carson, Tom McGlinchey, Owen Dyson, Mitch Roberts and Kyle Donnelly.
With the focus on the cup, the club's next league assignment is a home game against Barrow on Saturday.
