Colchester United vs. Tottenham Hotspur: League Cup game time, TV channels, how to watch online

With the Premier League campaign not going super well, and the Champions League Group Stage starting off with a stumble, Tottenham Hotspur enters into its third competition of the new season. The League Cup has never been the most glamorous — or the most important — cup for Spurs, but with some early uncertainties to begin the year, any sort of win feels good.

Tottenham travels to Essex on Tuesday night to take on a Colchester United side that currently sits just 10th in League Two. Though Colchester did knock off Crystal Palace in the Second Round, this should be a match that should be a simple win for Spurs, even with some fresh faces on the pitch.

The last time these two sides faced off was in the Fourth Round of the 2015-16 FA Cup. Tottenham came out victorious 4-1 with goals from Nacer Chadli (lol), Eric Dier (who?), and Tom Carroll (!). Do not be surprised to see similar types of names find the scoresheet in the 2019 rematch.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino has always had a tenuous relationship with the domestic cups, but he should be able to punt that conversation down the line. With a big match against Bayern Munich just a week away, rotation will be the name of the game. Get the win, stay healthy, and head back home to North London.
