Tottenham Hotspur welcome Doncaster Rovers to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a third-round tie in the EFL Cup on Wednesday. The Londoners enter the competition at this stage, while their League Two visitors have battled through the earlier rounds to reach this point.
Tottenham, now led by Thomas Frank, are aiming to use this fixture as a springboard after their recent 2-2 draw against Brighton in the Premier League. The Lilywhites have been in fine form this season as they have taken three wins and a draw, with their only loss coming against Bournemouth at the end of last month. The Spurs boss may look to rotate his squad, but the expectation will be clear — to advance further in a competition that offers a realistic chance of silverware.
Grant McCann’s Doncaster Rovers, meanwhile, approach the clash as clear underdogs but with little to lose. Despite a pair of defeats in their last two League Two outing, Rovers remain within touching distance of the promotion playoff places. They enter Round Three of the EFL Cup on the back of a 4-0 hammering of Middlesbrough in Round One and a 2-0 dismantling of Accrington Stanley in Round Two.
