Tottenham Hotspur vs Doncaster Rovers – Match Preview and Team News

Team News

Tottenham Hotspur

Thomas Frank will be without both Randal Kolo Muani and Ben Davies, who have been ruled out of the cup tie due to injury.

There is better news for Dominic Solanke and Kota Takai, who have returned to training, but Wednesday’s match is expected to come too soon for the pair. Youngsters Dane Scarlett and Archie Gray are both in line for rare starts.

Doncaster Rovers

Grant McCann has a nearly full-strength squad to choose from, with Harry Clifton his only long-term absentee. He may stick with the side that shocked Middlesbrough in the first round, with veteran Billy Sharp leading the attack and Luke Molyneux providing the creative spark.

Form

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs are in excellent form, sitting third in the Premier League and having lost just once in their last six games. After winning the Europa League last season, they are targeting the Carabao Cup as a genuine chance for more silverware and will be confident of progressing on home soil, where they are unbeaten in three.

Doncaster Rovers

The visitors have adjusted well to life in League One, but their momentum has stalled with back-to-back league defeats. However, their cup form has been superb. A stunning 4-0 away win at Middlesbrough in the first round proves they have the quality to cause a major upset.

Predicted Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur predicted XI: Kinsky; Spence, Danso, Romero, Udogie; Sarr, Gray; Simons, Johnson, Scarlett; Tel

Doncaster Rovers predicted XI: Lawlor; Sterry, McGrath, Pearson, Maxwell; Bailey, Close; Molyneux, Crew, Gibson; Sharp
