Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Doncaster Rovers at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Wednesday night as they hope to secure a good result at home in the EFL Cup. Spurs were held to a 2-2 draw away at Brighton and Hove Albion recently, so they would be eager to earn a win in this cup game.

Defence

Antonin Kinsky will play in between the sticks for Spurs as he looks to secure a clean sheet this week. Kevin Danso will get a chance to operate alongside Micky van de Ven at the centre of the Tottenham backline as they look to keep a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.

Djed Spence could fill in as the right-back, while Destiny Udogie looks to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.

Cristian Romero will make up the numbers on the bench as he offers cover for the centre-back positions.

Frank could opt for a midfield three of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr as they focus on establishing their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha will get a rest on the bench as they await their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Xavi Simons will try to give a good account of himself as the left-winger, while Brennan Johnson hopes to catch the eye on the right flank.

Dane Scarlett could lead the charge for the North London club up top. He would be eager to impress for Spurs this Wednesday night.

Richarlison and Mohammed Kudus will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if Tottenham need a goal.
