Coventry City is set to host Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup third round, with the Sky Blues looking to cause an upset against the Premier League outfit. Mark Robins' team has experienced an inconsistent start to their league campaign, with only one win out of six matches. However, Coventry City has the ability to beat Premier League opposition, having come from behind to beat Wolves with two stoppage-time goals during their memorable FA Cup run last season. Tottenham Hotspur, under Ange Postecoglou, is aiming for success in cup competition this season to end a trophy drought approaching 17 years. The last meeting between the two teams was in the FA Cup third round in 2013, where Tottenham won 3-0 with goals from Clint Dempsey and Gareth Bale. The predicted lineup for Coventry City includes Dovin, Bidwell, and Simms, while Tottenham's lineup features Vicario, Spence, and Werner. The match will be refereed by Darren England and will kick off at 20:00 BST at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Coventry City is currently at 13/2 odds to win, with Tottenham at 21/50. The Sky Blues will be searching for a third consecutive 1-0 win in the competition, having already overcome Bristol City and Oxford United. And with the team's recent form, they will be looking to turn their potential into reality. But Tottenham's underlying statistics indicate they should be better placed than they currently are. So, the match is expected to be a closely contested one, with both teams looking to advance to the next round. The Carabao Cup has been a welcome distraction for Coventry City, who have been struggling in the league. But with their recent wins, they will be looking to build on their momentum and cause an upset against Tottenham. The match will be available to watch on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Ultra.
