Winner will join Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle in semi-finals
The fourth and final place in the last-four of the Carabao Cup is on the line tonight as Tottenham host Manchester United in a huge clash in north London. Both sides have had unconvincing seasons up to this point, particularly United, but a trophy would certainly help lift the mood.
Ange Postecoglou has made it clear he is confident he will bring silverware to Spurs this season, and this competition could prove to be his best bet. His side ended a five-match winless run with a dominant victory over Southampton last time out and will hope to carry that confidence into tonight’s clash. Yves Bissouma returns from suspension to start in midfield, but Destiny Udogie misses out.
As for United, they snatched a dramatic derby win over Manchester City last time out and will hope that proves a turning point for their season. Ruben Amorim has once again left Marcus Rashford out of his squad, but Alejandro Garnacho is back on the bench.
