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

The duo will look to join Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle in the quarter-finals, with both looking to boost their seasons with a cup triumph.

Adding a seventh League Cup win would be an excellent start to Ruben Amorim's reign as United manager, while Ange Postecoglou will look to end Spurs' 16-year drought since winning this competition in 2008.

Tottenham enters the confrontation by defeating Southampton 5-0 on Sunday evening, while the Red Devils won significantly over rival Manchester City 2-1 on the same day.

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