Do you believe in miracles? If so, you’ll put a shilling or two on Tottenham’s, let’s say, 3-0 home victory against Chelsea in tonight’s EFL League Cup semifinal return leg.Yes, it sounds surreal, but a 2-0 loss to the Blues in the first leg at Stamford Bridge a few days ago will force the Spurs to attack heavily straight from the kick-off.The Blues rule London! Sloppy Spurs send Chelsea on the verge of EFL Cup finalNo matter how difficult it seems at first sight, their quest is not totally impossible to achieve. Yet, they’ll need to perform excellently on both ends – put a stop to Lukaku and Havertz in defence, and rely not only on Kane in their offensive setups.It’s interesting the two sides met at the same level of the League Cup exactly 20 years ago, and it was also Chelsea that won that first tie (2-1 was then, back in 2002). The Spurs not only topped that but trashed their London neighbours with a 5-1 landslide victory at the old White Hart Lane.On this day in ‘79, Simon Davies was born. Happy b’day sir! 🎂🥳⚽️🍺Simon went on to make 147 appearances for us scoring 18 goals.Still baffled by Hoddle’s decision to leave out Davies from starting line up in 2002 league cup final.Here’s his goal vs Chelsea.

It felt like all those 12 years of getting beaten by them came out that night to make it extra loud and extra special. All that anger came out on that one night. You could just see it coming from the players, from the fans.”EFL CUP – SEMIFINALSWED: 22.45: (2.95) TOTTENHAM (3.30) CHELSEA (2.45)THU: 22.45: (2.05) LIVERPOOL (3.45) ARSENAL (3.60)
