Either Southport or Tranmere will host Spurs in round three
Non-League Southport host Tranmere Rovers in an Emirates FA Cup second round replay on Monday evening – with the winners earning a plum home tie against Tottenham Hotspur in round three.
Bradley Bauress’s sublime effort at Prenton Park earned the Sandgrounders another crack at their League Two opponents after Jonny Smith had put Micky Mellon's side ahead.

- Tranmere have progressed from their last 16 FA Cup ties against non-League opponents since losing against Coventry Sporting in 1975-76
- Both Southport and Tranmere are looking to reach the Emirates FA Cup third round for the first time since 2014-15
- Southport are unbeaten in their last four FA Cup home games (W3 D1), keeping a clean sheet in three of those fixtures.
