Coventry City vs. Tottenham Hotspur League Cup Preview: Reversing the tides

Coventry in high hopes to make upset

Coventry City, a Championship club, will host Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, December 21. Coventry stunned the football world by knocking out Premier League side Burnley in the third round, and they will be looking to continue their giant-killing run against Tottenham.

Tottenham are the heavy favorites in this match, but Coventry will be hoping to pull off another upset. The Sky Blues are in good form, having won four of their last six matches in all competitions. Tottenham, on the other hand, have been in poor form, having won just one of their last five matches in all competitions.

Coventry will be without several key players for this match, including Matty Godden, Jodi Jones, and Ben Sheaf. Tottenham will also be without several key players, including Hugo Lloris, Son Heung-min, and Richarlison.

The match will be played at the Coventry Building Society Arena, and it is expected to be a sell-out. Coventry will be hoping to use the home advantage to their advantage and pull off another upset.

Coventry will be no pushovers, however. They stunned Burnley in the previous round, and they will be hoping to cause another upset against Tottenham.

Tottenham will be without several key players for this match, including Hugo Lloris, Son Heung-min, and Richarlison.

However, they will still have a strong team available, and they will be confident of getting the win.
