Tottenham Hotspur will face Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup on Thursday evening.
Spurs ended their five-match winless streak at the weekend when they defeated Southampton on the beach and now they turn to hunting for silverware. Ange Postecoglou announced that he “always wins things” in his second season at the club and that record will be tested this time around.
The EFL Cup was last won by Tottenham in 2007/08, having faced rivals Manchester in the last eight seasons before defeating Arsenal and Chelsea to claim the title.
Man Utd have won 13 major trophies since Spurs last won the EFL Cup, including the competition in the 2022/23 season. They beat Newcastle United in the final to lift their first piece of silverware under sacked manager Erik ten Hag.
Ruben Amorim’s first month in the job didn’t go well but his short reign came to an end at the weekend. The Red Devils scored a stunning win at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City, and Amad Diallo have inspired Man Utd to a stunning late victory.
Here we are 90m is guide to mouthwatering meeting last eight in Carabao Cup.

TottenhamThe defense has been decimated by injuries this season and Destiny Udogie is the latest concern after being taken off in the first half of the weekend’s win at St Mary’s Stadium. However, Postecoglou has confirmed that the Italians have a chance to show on Thursday night.
Given that Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Ben Davies and Cristian Romero are all on the sidelines at the moment, Postecoglou could use some good news about Udogie, and options going down the back line.
In addition to that, Rodrigo Bentancur is still missing through suspensionwhile Richarlison, Mikey Moore and Wilson Odobert are all absent as the Spurs team increases dramatically.
Tottenham vs Man Utd predictions (4-2-3-1): Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Maddison, Jr.; Solanke.
Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were absent from the squad for the first game against Man City admitted his desire for “new challenges” as he approaches the exit of the January transfer window. With Man Utd also investigating ‘leaks’ within the dressing roomit will be interesting to see if any part north of London.
Both Mason Mount and Noussair Mazraoui were substituted against Man City due to fitness, with the England midfielder confirmed to miss Thursday. Mazraoui will be reviewed shortly before the start.
Luke Shaw is also out with a hip injury but veteran defender Jonny Evans could return to the fold having been absent since Amorim’s first game.
Man Utd vs Tottenham predictions (3-4-2-1): See; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Mainoo, Ugarte, Malacia; Amad, Fernandes; Hojlund.
Both teams have been unpredictable in recent weeks and will not have full confidence in themselves even after a good weekend win. Man Utdindeed, they lost 3-0 at home to Spurs earlier this season, but it was accepted under a different regime.
Spurs tend to reserve their best for the so-called ‘big teams’ and have shown their ability to be entertaining on the pitch. Their attacking play can be unstoppable with the likes of Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Son Heung-min combining seamlessly – as evidenced by the 5-0 demolition of Southampton.
The firecracker could prove the difference between the two teams, with Tottenham’s desire to pick up a trophy of any description likely to push them past a Man Utd side still under Amorim.
