Kick-off: 8:15pm, Wednesday 30th October 2024

Tottenham Hotspur will look to take a step closer to ending their sixteen-year trophy drought when they entertain defending Premier League champions to White Hart Lane in the last sixteen round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.

Early-season inconsistency

Having returned from the international break with back-to-back wins over West Ham United and AZ Alkmaar, Tottenham Hotspur returned to their early-season inconsistency when they gave Crystal Palace their first league win of the campaign last time out. In fairness, Spurs deserved little from their trip south of the river and it did nothing to help their bid for a top four finish to the season.

Embarrassing exit

As far as the Carabao Cup is concerned, this competition is Tottenham’s best chance of securing silverware, despite being up against a Manchester City side which has dominated the domestic scene for many years. Nevertheless, Ange Postecoglou’s men came close to an embarrassing exit from the tournament on their visit to Coventry City in the last round, last gasp strikes from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson sparing the visitors’ blushes.

Flawless

Since sharing the spoils with Newcastle United in a 1-1 draw at St James’ Park late last month, Manchester City have enjoyed a flawless October with wins in their five outings across competitions, their most recent win coming against relegation-threatened Southampton at the weekend. Pep Guardiola’s men now face a somewhat daunting schedule of four away games in just eleven games and as such, the squad will be pushed to the very limit.

Academy players

For this match, Guardiola will likely turn to a few academy players and Spurs will see this as an excellent chance to edge their way further towards silverware. Nevertheless, City have an abundance of first-team stars who will feature in this midweek clash and we envisage the visitors having the edge and inflicting upon the hosts another narrow defeat.

Back Man City to win and both teams to score at best odds of 27/10
