Tottenham vs. Sheffield United: how to watch Capital One Cup online, tv listings, live stream link

All that's standing in the way between Tottenham and silverware is Chelsea. Oh, and Sheffield, too, I guess.

Get ready to fire up the Chaz and Dave, Spurs fans, because Spurs are just 90+minutes away from a trip to Wembley Stadium. Tottenham take a 1-0 first leg lead into a rematch with Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, and don't expect either team to sit deep and defend.

The winner? Well, they get Chelsea at Wembley, but let's not think about that quite yet. First, Spurs have to take care of business against the Blades, who are an overachieving (but legitimate) team in League One. They're the Dread Pirate Roberts of the Capital One Cup, and despite the difference in stature between these two clubs, they're "no one to be trifled with." (Get used to disappointment.)

BTW, if things go pear-shaped here, you can also always flip over to the USA v. Chile international friendly, which starts at 6:00 p.m. ET. DeAndre Yedlin is probably going to start that one.

Lineups:

Our prediction about a strong Spurs lineup was born out here, though there are a couple of moderate surprises. Michel Vorm gets the nod between the sticks for Spurs, and Eric Dier gets the surprise start alongside Jan Vertonghen in central defense, who apparently is also the back-up captain! Mousa Dembele also gets a start in the hole, which is interesting. Erik Lamela also returns to the side. Oh, and there's that Harry Kane guy.

This is a strong lineup. Poche wants to win. So do we. So let's win.

Match thread rules:

As always, the match thread rules are the same. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We're glad you're here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you're here, though, we have a few rules and regulations.

  • Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They're bad and they get us in trouble.
  • We have rules against "relentless negativity." Nobody likes a Negative Nancy, even when we're losing to Sheffield United and OH GOD LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT. Don't knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you're frustrated.
  • Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is verboten. It's fine to say "wow, that's a bad call, match official," but it's NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
  • Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. Observe Wheaton's Law. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
  • Finally, while we don't have a rule against profanity, any language that is sexist, racist, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you may lose posting privileges. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun and COYS!
