Line-ups confirmed for Carabao Cup quarter-final

Tottenham take on Manchester United for a place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Thursday.

The duo are looking to join Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle in the final four, with both desperate to bolster their seasons with a triumph in the cup.

Adding a seventh League Cup win would be an excellent start to Ruben Amorim’s reign as United boss, while Ange Postecoglou is looking to end Spurs’ 16-year trophy drought since winning this competition in 2008.

Spurs come into the clash off the back beating Southampton 5-0 on Sunday night, with the Red Devils dramatically beating rivals Manchester City 2-1 on the same day.

Check out all the confirmed team news for both sides below.

Postecoglou has made just two changes to the side who hit five against the Saints, with Pedro Porro and Yves Bissouma returning to the XI.

Destiny Udogie misses out with Djed Spence switching to left-back, as Lucas Bergvall dropping to the bench in what is a strong side named Tottenham’s manager.

James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevksi, Dominic Solanke and Heung-Min Son all start in a dangerous-looking quartet.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Forster, Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence, Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison, Kulusevski, Solanke, Son.
