With the future of manager Mauricio Pochettino uncertain as Real Madrid hover, Spurs will begin their Carabao Cup campaign
Less than 48 hours after completing their Premier League fixtures against Manchester City, Tottenham find themselves back in action as they begin their Carabao Cup campaign with a trip to West Ham.
The Hammers were last in action on Saturday, where they earned a 1-1 draw against Leicester in a match that will be remembered as the stage of the tragic helicopter crash outside the ground that killed six, including Foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
Both of these clubs have been starved of success in recent years, with Spurs’ last silverware coming in this competition more than a decade ago, while an FA Cup win in 1980 was the last time Mauricio Pochettino’s side had to break open the trophy cabinet.
