It doesn’t get more challenging than that, does it? The League Cup will see them face Manchester City on Wednesday night, as Spurs look to end their long wait without a trophy. City have enjoyed great success in this competition in the past, but this time it’s a bit different. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8457029##Pep Guardiola recently admitted that his side will not “waste energy” on the competition this year and there is the prospect of the Spaniard giving opportunities to his academy players. Regardless of whichever side he opts for, Postecoglou and Tottenham have to find a way of getting past their opponents.”Obviously, City played on Saturday, so we’ve got to make sure the players we put out there tomorrow are able to compete physically with what’s going to be on the other side of the pitch from us,” said the Australian in his pre-match press conference. “The good thing is just about the whole squad’s had some kind of football so that means whatever changes we make the players coming in are at a good physical level.”Watching Arsenal is like watching Netflix…City are missing six first-team players, including the newly-crowned Ballon d’Or winner Rodri. Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku and Oscar Bobb have also been missing for the Blues.”[We have] few players. We are going to try and do a good game to try to go through,” he said. “Always it happens. Last season we were out against Newcastle but played really well. Perform well, this is what I want, no injuries please and go to the last week before the international break in November.”EFL CUP – ROUND 4TuesdaySouthampton – Stoke 3-2 (2-1)/Harwood-Bellis 19, Armstrong 35 pen, Bree 88 – Phillips 45, Cannon 54/Brentford – Sheffield Wednesday 5-4 on pen (1-1)/Schade 11 – Gassama 57/Wednesday 22.30: (3.40) Brighton (3.50) Liverpool (2.10)22.45: (1.83) Aston Villa (3.50) Crystal Palace (4.50)22.45: (1.30) Man.Utd.
