Tottenham enter the EFL Cup at the third round stage this year with a home fixture against Justin Edinburgh’s Gillingham to look forward to.
Edinburgh himself performed over 200 times for Spurs in the Premier League so the occasion will be tremendous for not only him but also his players who will be looking to claim a big scalp.
The League Cup was of course the last trophy Tottenham won back in 2007/08 and in the ultra-competitive modern game, Mauricio Pochettino will know that it is a competition which is that much more possible to win compared to others.
Like many managers in his position who have to juggle numerous competitions at once, expect a blend of youth and experience this evening.
While it is incredibly difficult to second guess the precise starting elevens that managers plump for in this competition, This Is Futbol are today trying to second guess Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
