Tottenham has been handed a minor boost in their bid to beat Manchester City and win the Carabao Cup this weekend.
Spurs take on Pep Guardiola’s side in a massive game that will bring some joy back after a turbulent season.
They have been trophyless since 2008 and Jose Mourinho helped them reach the final of this Carabao Cup before getting fired.
Ryan Mason has replaced him on an interim basis and the former Spurs’ midfielder will look to help the club win another trophy.
Manchester City is running away with the Premier League title and is also eyeing the Carabao Cup and the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola has most of his players back to their brilliant best, which is why his team looks set to win another league title.
One of their key men this season has been John Stones and he is set to miss the showdown with Spurs, reports Sun Sports.
He was given a straight red card in City’s Premier League game against Aston Villa yesterday and the report says he will miss their next three games, starting with the Carabao Cup final.
This will come as some positive news for Mason as he prepares to win a trophy for Spurs after just two games.
It’s lost any notion of romance. Corporate greed now.
In my opinion Laporte and Dias are their best two CB’s anyway so this isn’t much of a boost.
Football is still football
I fancy our chances. 2-1 Tottenham
I still reckon City won’t win, they wanted 4, now that’s gone they’ll make do with the League and CL if PSG don’t win.
I know it’s West Ham but it’s funny how things get you, I just watched highlights of 2-2 West Ham v Utd in 97 or something and like us I cannot believe they let that ground be taken away. Also just the atmosphere when Dicks scored the pen at the end and the crowd hugging and kissing him, it’s a different world, like watching footage of a dead relative. So sad what’s happened to football. Heartbreaking really.
