Tottenham begin their Carabao Cup campaign tonight with a trip to Championship side Coventry.

So much is made about the trophy drought at Spurs and Ange Postecoglou would no doubt love to be the manager who finally delivers the first piece of silverware since Juande Ramos won this competition in 2008.

Coventry vs Tottenham team news

Ange Postecoglou will be reluctant to make too many changes, having done just that last season and fallen at this stage of the competition, but there are plenty of fringe players who will be pushing to start.

Radu Dragusin will almost certainly come in at centre-back, and could be joined in defence by right-back Djed Spence and the experienced Ben Davies at left-back. Pape Sarr didn’t get the nod on Sunday so should come into midfield and may partner young Swedish star Lucas Bergvall. Timo Werner can get a run out in attack, while Dominic Solanke keeps his place.

Richarlison, Yves Bissouma and Will Lankshear are the only enforced absentees,

Coventry are expected to be without Ben Sheaf, while the trio of Joel Latibeaudiere, Josh Eccles and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto are doubts but pushing to be involved.

Coventry vs Tottenham prediction

Spurs have just one Premier League win so far this season - coming against beleaguered Everton - but have largely dominated their four games while struggling to convert chances.

A trip up to Coventry will by no means be plain sailing, but Spurs should have enough about them to see off a team who have similarly struggled to pick up points this term.

Spurs to win, 3-1.
