Spurs and United will be desperate to reach the semi-finals in what has been a disappointing season so far for both. Tottenham host Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, with both sides looking to take another step towards the first major final of the season.

Ange Postecoglou’s side sit 10th in the Premier League after a string of mixed results, and the 2008 edition of this competition marks the last time Spurs won a trophy. United sit even lower in the table despite their derby win last weekend, and Ruben Amorim will be aware of the merits of going far in this competition in his first season in charge.

Amorim dropped Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from his squad to face Manchester City last weekend and must now decide whether to recall his forwards. Amorim said United are a better team with Rashford and offered to help the 27-year-old after he gave an interview saying he is ready for a “new challenge” away from the club.

The 27-year-old academy product has scored just 15 goals in 67 appearances in the 18 months since signing a big-money deal until 2028, with speculation over his future increasing in recent days.
