Carabao Cup
Tottenham Hotspurs vs Watford Preview
Tottenham Hotspur and Watford meet at Stadium MK in the EFL Cup third round on Wednesday night.
The choice of venue will have a big impact on the outcome. Spurs ended a three-match losing run with a 2-1 win against Brighton on Saturday. Watford have a poor recent record in this competition.
Team News:
Dele Alli and Moussa Sissoko will most likely feature in order to gain match fitness. Harry Kane will surely be rested for this fixture. Son Heung-Min is likely to start in attack.
Watford fielded a number of fringe players in the previous round so the likes of Ken Sema and Isaac Success are likely to be amongst the beneficiaries should Gracia shuffle his pack again here.
Overview:
Spurs, too, have kept a clean sheet in each of their last five victories in the EFL Cup and Watford have kept 10 clean sheets in their last 12 wins in this competition – including three extra-time victories.
Prediction:
A low attendance is expected for this match at Milton Keyes and will probably be a low-scoring game with both teams prioritizing other competitions.
Score prediction: Spurs 2 – 1 Watford
