Ange Postecoglou hinted that Mikey Moore could be set for a return to action as we prepare to face Tamworth in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday (12.30pm UK).

Asked in his pre-match press conference on Friday if Sunday's tie at The Lamb Ground was an opportunity for our younger players like Mikey, Alfie Dorrington and Will Lankshear, Ange said: "No, it gives me an opportunity to put a team out that I think will win a game of football. The ones who play will be the ones who I think will do that.

Ange was also asked if he was conscious of the need to rest the likes of Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke and Pedro Porro - Deki has appeared in all 30 of our matches so far this season, Dominic 26 and Pedro 25 - and if this tie against the National League side was an opportunity to do that, and he responded: "Yes, to a certain extent, but we have to be mindful that we don't want to turn it into a tricky game for us, we want to make sure we play our best.

Ange Postecoglou has explained that Tamworth's artificial pitch will play a part in his thinking when it comes to choosing his team for Sunday's third round FA Cup tie.

A synthetic surface with a rubber infill, it will be a pitch that not many of our players will be used to but it is one that Ange has knowledge of and he has admitted the type of surface will play a part in his team selection.

"The artificial surface does play a part in (team selection). We have to be really careful about which players we expose to that. I have a fair bit of experience of that, in terms of playing on artificial pitches. I think guys coming back from injury, it's probably unwise to expose them to that."

Ange later confirmed in his pre-match press conference that the team would train on an artificial pitch ahead of the game.
