After a nightmare first-leg at Stamford Bridge a week ago (2-0), Tottenham Hotspur has it all to do in this Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg clash with London rivals Chelsea.
It’d be a spectacular turnaround if they were to book themselves into the show-piece event at Wembley, given that across the history of this competition, only Aston Villa in 1993/94 has reached the final after losing the first-leg by more than a single goal!
Spurs may have failed to score across the last two competitive home head-to-head clashes, but having netted 2+ goals in four straight competitive home matches overall, the hosts might be confident of producing an almighty turnaround.
Whilst all of this should give Thomas Tuchel’s men a huge psychological edge, it’s worth noting that Chelsea has only won one of their last five League Cup-away visits to Tottenham, therefore they shouldn’t be too cocksure in their approach for this semi-final second-leg.
