Thomas Frank will get his first taste of domestic cup action with Tottenham this evening as Spurs host Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup. In a season where the Dane has made clear that he is targeting silverware, this competition could be his best chance of getting his hands on a trophy. He has his work cut out for him to better Spurs’ performance in the competition last season, though, after they were knocked out in the semi-finals by Liverpool.
Spurs will hope to open their campaign with a statement defeat of League One’s Rovers, who sit seventh in the third tier after nine matches. They head to north London on a two-match losing run, though, having been beaten by AFC Wimbledon and Wigan by an aggregate score of 5-1.
It could be a tricky selection for Spurs, though, as Randal Kolo Muani and Ben Davies can now be counted among the injured. Frank has promised to name a strong squad.
