Spurs head back to the London Stadium for their second match against West Ham in two weeks today. After a hard-fought 1-0 win over the Hammers in the Premier League on October 20, this time it’s in the Carabao Cup Round of 16.
West Ham are the team that knocked Spurs out of the League Cup last season, a 3-2 defeat in the fourth round. The Hammers will try and do so again in another “cup final” match, but the teams may look different. Spurs in particular will have to rotate as they played two days ago at Wembley against Manchester City, and have a trip to Wolverhampton on Saturday.
What that rotation will look like is anyone’s guess, but we can probably infer thanks to the injury to Eric Dier that Victor Wanyama will feature. We might see starts from Serge Aurier and Kyle Walker-Peters, and Son Heung-Min looks likely to enter the starting lineup.
This isn’t the EXCITING cup, but it’s still a chance to get closer to actually winning silverware. Plus, sticking it to West Ham is always fun.
COYS!
