Spurs are in Carabao Cup third-round action away at Championship opposition tonight, with added pressure on them to advance after all the discussion around Ange Postecoglou’s trophy ambitions this week. The defiant Australian remains confident that he can end Tottenham’s 16-year wait for major silverware in his second season at the helm, while a strong performance would be most welcome after only one Premier League win so far this term and back-to-back defeats by Newcastle and Arsenal.
Yves Bissouma and Richarlison remain sidelined for the visitors, who have surprisingly made eight changes in total for their first meeting with Coventry – opponents in that famous FA Cup final of 1987 – in 11 years as they bid to reach the last 16. Postecoglou will want no repeat of the mistakes of last year, when his side were dumped out of this competition early by Fulham on penalties after similar wholesale alterations.
Coventry – losing play-off finalists from two seasons ago – currently sit around mid-table in the Championship under long-serving boss Mark Robins after winning just one of their first five matches, though they did beat both Bristol City and Oxford to make the third round. They also show seven changes to their starting lineup. Follow Coventry vs Tottenham live below!

Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
21:13 , George Flood
54 mins: Bidwell lashes a ball across towards Bassette, who crucially hesitates as he waits for it to drop and that allows Spence to get back and make an important challenge.
Forster spills the subsequent corner under no pressure! Deary me.
Spurs’ set-piece defending is bad enough without that.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
21:11 , George Flood
52 mins: More danger signs for Tottenham as Rudoni does so well to release Bassette, who runs at Dragusin before seeing a low strike saved by Forster.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
21:10 , George Flood
50 mins: Spurs’ makeshift defence looks iffy once again as they are beaten by a flick before Dragusin makes a great sliding block as Thomas-Asante lets fly.
Big header from Davies to clear the corner.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
21:08
49 mins: Sarr tries to inject some pace into this stodgy Spurs display, but he ends up going down a blind alley and Coventry skipper Eccles does well to win a pressure-relieving free-kick.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
21:05 , George Flood
47 mins: Spence has indeed gone to left-back for Spurs, with Gray still on the right of the defence.
A curious change from Postecoglou if that’s not fitness-related.

Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
21:01 , George Flood
There is a half-time change coming from Ange Postecoglou.
It’s at full-back, with Djed Spence replacing Destiny Udogie.
Spence to left-back? Is that another injury?
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:56
76 per cent possession from Tottenham in that first half.
Zero shots, on or off target.
That just about sums it up.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:53 , George Flood
Standard Sport’s Dan Kilpatrick at the Coventry Building Society Arena
Spurs have had most of the possession but not threatened Coventry’s goal at all, and their makeshift defence has been jittery with and without the ball.
Gray and Bergvall look bright but Solanke has barely had a touch and Werner was downright poor.
Wonder how long until Postecoglou calls for the cavalry…
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:49
Half-time
Goalless at the break, with much-changed Spurs having plenty of possession but doing absolutely nothing with it.
Rudoni with the best two chances of the half for Coventry, denied early by Forster and later Udogie.

20:46 , George Flood

Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:44 , George Flood
42 mins: Werner fails to pull off the one-two down the left with Udogie.
Not a good first half from the German.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:43 , George Flood
Standard Sport’s Dan Kilpatrick at the Coventry Building Society Arena
After holding Spurs at bay for the first half-hour, Coventry are now on top and testing Postecoglou’s makeshift defence.
Kulusevski has been vigorously warming up, so you wonder if the Spurs boss will look to his bench at half-time.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:41
39 mins: The pacey Bassette gets away from Dragusin before rifling a powerful effort just off target.
Did Forster get fingertips to that? Goal kick given.
Coventry are finishing this first half strong.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:39
37 mins: Spurs have gone into a real lull here and Coventry are eager to take advantage.
A crucial block rom Udogie denies Rudoni, who has had the best two chances of this first half so far.
Great cross from Bidwell on the left.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:36 , George Flood
33 mins: Another corner, this time for Coventry after Udogie’s committed block.
Rudoni again puts it right on the goalkeeper, putting Forster under all sorts of pressure.
It’s actually a cracking defensive header from Bentancur in the end before Thomas-Asante goes for the spectacular finish with the whistle already gone for a push.
Forster was not getting that. Coventry clearly think he’s a weak link.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:34 , George Flood
30 mins: A needless free-kick is conceded in a dangerous area by Coventry, but they manage to head it clear inside the box.
Still goalless as we tick past the half-hour mark in the West Midlands.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:30 , George Flood
28 mins: A decent little spell from Coventry this, with Tottenham forced to defend diligently inside their own penalty area.
Werner ends up conceding a corner that Forster gets an important hand to.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:29 , George Flood
Standard Sport’s Dan Kilpatrick at the Coventry Building Society Arena
Different team, same Spurs so far.
Postecoglou’s side are having all of the ball but struggling to carve out clear chances against a well-drilled Coventry.
Teenage summer signings Gray and Bergvall are very easy on the eye.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:28 , George Flood
25 mins: A dangerous Spurs free-kick is flashed across the back post and Coventry are forced to concede another corner – much to the dismay of the home fans.
Werner ends up overhitting a cross that is easily claimed by goalkeeper Wilson.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:27 , George Flood
24 mins: Coventry have defended very well so far, but now Binks has his name taken for scything down Gray.
First yellow card of the evening – and he can have no complaints.
Lovely link-up play between Johnson and Gray, who cut inside with purpose after a nice little back-heel from the substitute.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:24
20 mins: Spells of possession for both sides now, with Spurs stepping things up just a notch again as Werner forces a corner on the far side.
Bergvall’s delivery is guided away at the front post, before Solanke battles Van Ewijk and Thomas-Asante before somehow seeing a free-kick given against him to the left of the penalty area.
That could easily have gone the other way.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:20 , George Flood
17 mins: Odobert has now limped off and been replaced by Johnson, who deactivated his Instagram account this week after online abuse sent to him after the north London derby defeat by Arsenal.
Postecoglou launched a strong defence of the Welsh international at his pre-match press conference yesterday while rightly decrying such abuse from fans.
A disappointing premature end to the night for Odobert, who will have relished this chance to impress.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:18 , George Flood
16 mins: Odobert has gone down for Tottenham and looks in a bit of pain over on the right flank.
He’s massaging the back of his right leg while sat on the floor with the physio – hamstring injury?
I think Postecoglou is preparing Brennan Johnson to come on.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:16
14 mins: Werner looks to wriggle free inside the Coventry box but it’s alert defending from Binks to see off the danger.
Coventry break at pace, but a rogue pass brings a promising counter-attack to a halt.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:15 , George Flood
Standard Sport’s Dan Kilpatrick at the Coventry Building Society Arena
Fraser Forster does not look especially comfortable in his first Spurs appearance for a year and was forced into a save after 40-odd seconds following a loose pass out.
More positively, Archie Gray is very good on the ball and looks a great fit as one of Postecoglou’s inverted full-backs.
So, a mixed bag thus far from much-changed Spurs.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:14 , George Flood
11 mins: Brighter signs from Spurs as Bergvall is thwarted before a sweeping long diagonal pass from Dragusin intended for Werner is well cut out.
A low cross from Udogie is then blocked as the pressure starts to crank up just a little.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:08 , George Flood
6 mins: Nothing doing for Spurs so far as Werner is flagged offside.
Bassette is threatening down Coventry’s right flank before a fairer challenge this time from Davies.
Tottenham repel a long throw-in, but they are quickly back under more pressure as Forster claims at the second attempt a long cross arrowed towards the back post.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:06 , George Flood
4 mins: High-intensity stuff from the Championship side early on and Davies – captaining Spurs tonight – takes down teenage forward Bassette, who wants a yellow card brandished.
The referee awards a foul only.
Coventry 0-0 Tottenham
20:03 , George Flood
2 mins: Almost a disastrous start for Spurs!
Forster gives the ball away woefully as he tries to find Bergvall and has to beat away a fierce strike from Rudoni.
A huge chance for Coventry with barely 60 seconds on the clock.
Forster confidently claims from the resulting corner.
Coventry vs Tottenham
20:01
Underway at the CBS Arena!
Coventry are in their familiar sky blue home strips, with Tottenham sporting that all-green third kit.
Darren England is tonight’s referee.
Coventry vs Tottenham
19:58 , George Flood
Here come the teams!
Coventry have had some great cup nights in recent times and the atmosphere is already bouncing once again.
Will this be another upset to remember?
Coventry vs Tottenham
19:51 , George Flood
Final preparations at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Kick-off is now just 10 minutes away!
19:47
It’s worth noting that Archie Gray appears to be playing at right-back for Spurs tonight on his first competitive start.
It is a role he fulfilled on occasion for Leeds, but he’s yet to feature there in a Tottenham shirt unless I’m mistaken.
It will be interesting to see how he fares.
Hardly a vote of confidence in Djed Spence.
It’s also a full debut for Lucas Bergvall in midfield.
19:38 , George Flood
Standard Sport’s chief football correspondent Dan Kilpatrick is in position at the Coventry Building Society Arena and reacts to that surprisingly risky-looking team selection by Ange Postecoglou…
Coventry show seven changes from Watford draw
19:27 , George Flood
Coventry have made seven changes of their own from Saturday’s draw at Watford in the Championship.
Ben Wilson starts in goal, with Luis Binks, Jake Bidwell, Jamie Allen, Haji Wright, Norman Bassette and Brandon Thomas-Asante also drafted in.
Out go Oliver Dovin, Liam Kitching, Jay Dasilva, Victor Torp, Ellis Simms and Ephron Mason-Clark, while Joel Latibeaudiere picked up a knock at Vicarage Road.
Ben Sheaf and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto both return to the bench after respective ankle injuries.
Ange Postecoglou takes risk with eight Tottenham changes
19:21
So Ange Postecoglou has not been afraid to make wholesale changes after all, with eight in total from the north London derby.
Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dominic Solanke are the only players to retain their starting berths from the defeat by Arsenal on Sunday.
Fraser Forster makes his first appearance since that Fulham loss in this competition a year ago in goal, with teenagers Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert all afforded chances to impress.
Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies are the centre-back pairing with no Cristian Romero or Micky van de Ven even in the squad, while Pape Matar Sarr returns to the midfield and Timo Werner gets a rare start in attack.
Sergio Reguilon makes a surprise appearance on the bench alongside captain Heung-min Son and another teenage hopeful in Mikey Moore, while there is no start for Djed Spence.
Coventry lineup
19:17
Starting XI: Wilson, Van Ewijk, Thomas, Binks, Bidwell, Eccles, Allen, Rudoni, Wright, Bassette, Thomas-Asante
Subs: Collins, Kitching, Broad, Torp, Andrews, Mason-Clark, Sheaf, Sakamoto, Simms
Tottenham lineup
19:04
Starting XI: Forster, Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie, Bentancur, Sarr, Bergvall, Werner, Odobert, Solanke
Subs: Vicario, Spence, Porro, Reguilon, Moore, Maddison, Kulusevski, Johnson, Son
Tonight’s venue
18:45
A lovely evening for football in the West Midlands.
I don’t believe Spurs have ever played at this stadium, with their last visit to Coventry coming at the old Highfield Road ground in the Carling Cup in September 2003.
That night, Robbie Keane offered a goal and an assist against his former club, with Freddie Kanoute and Rohan Ricketts also on target for a side under the caretaker guidance of David Pleat following the sacking of Glenn Hoddle.
Tottenham’s only other meeting with Coventry since then came in January 2013, when Clint Dempsey scored twice in a 3-0 win in the FA Cup third round at White Hart Lane.
Coventry also facing Carabao Cup selection dilemmas
18:31 , George Flood
There is also a selection conundrum facing Ange Postecoglou’s opposite number Mark Robins, whose Coventry side – losing Championship play-off finalists from two seasons ago – face a tough test tonight in a competition they have typically used so far this season to hand chances to players on the fringes of their first-team squad.
Will last year’s FA Cup semi-finalists – who can forget that epic six-goal clash with Manchester United at Wembley that went all the way to penalties – be at full strength this evening?
“From our point of view we have got some who are desperate to play, some players who have been in the team and others who have been on the periphery,” said Robins this week.
“They’re all desperate to play in this game, which is on live TV with a big crowd.
“You don’t get to experience it that often, so that’s my next few hours, making sure we have a coherent plan and having a team in place that can give a really good account of themselves and do Coventry City proud, as they have done in the past.
“We had a brilliant FA Cup run last year and this is the first time we have been beyond the second round in 12 years or so, so we know how difficult it is, and it’s been historically difficult to get through because we have tended to use this for people that have needed the next game to keep everyone as level as we can with their game time and load.
“So sometimes that pays off and sometimes it doesn’t.
“This season it has because we have a really good depth to the squad in most areas, so we have managed to get through and played some really decent stuff so far in this competition.”
Scrutiny on Spurs selection as Ange Postecoglou seeks right balance
18:18
We’ll find out the official team news shortly, but there is sure to be extra scrutiny on Ange Postecoglou’s selection tonight in the context of those much-discussed trophy aims and after a much-changed side were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Fulham at the first hurdle on penalties last year.
Some rotation is expected in defence as Spurs now face a run of seven games in just 21 days across all competitions, including the start of their Europa League campaign at home to Qarabag next week, though the manager surely cannot risk the wrath of fans if he makes wholesale alterations and his side are beaten again by lower-league opposition.
Postecoglou must weigh up the right balance of experience and chances to impress, with the likes of teenagers Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore all eager to stake their respective starting claims.
Here is how Standard Sport’s Dan Kilpatrick sees Tottenham lining up tonight…
Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Spence, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Davies; Bentancur, Sarr, Bergvall; Werner, Solanke, Odobert
Ange Postecoglou happy to be judged on Tottenham trophy fortunes
18:06 , George Flood
Ange Postecoglou also remarked yesterday that he was happy to be judged at Tottenham by his fortunes in terms of hunting major silverware.
Told he was holding himself to a high standard, the Australian said: “Yeah it is, but that’s all I’ve got.
“I failed last year in my head because that’s how I’m geared… that’s been my whole career, that’s my foundation. That’s why I’m sitting here.
“There’s no other way I could have got here.
“No chance in any universe I could have got here from Australia and been sitting here answering questions at one of the biggest clubs in the world and the best competition in the world if I didn’t have some sort of self-belief based on something of substance.
“I was never going to get here with my charm and good looks. I’ve never tried to steer it another way.
“Have I ever downplayed anything since I’ve been here?
“So I’m willing to be measured against [my success this season], that means that I’m fair game. I’ve never said not to.
“Now, how you come to your summary at the end, that’s as much on you as it is me.
“You can make your assessment on just one thing or many things.
“But I’m happy to be judged against that standard because that’s my standard, that’s what I’ve done in the past and I don’t want to dilute that because then I miss the opportunity to continue on the road I’ve been on.
“I have no problems with people using that as a yardstick.
“I will say we’re four games into a new season, it’s pretty early. I realised in Scotland, they’d rule me out after two games.
“They said it was all over in the year we won the Double, so…I just find it…It’s just me, I’m going to be me.
“I’m just going to say these things the way I always have and I’m not going to change.
“It’s easy to… not easy but if I said ‘this is going to take three or four years’, then yeah it would relieve pressure.
“But I don’t want to wait three or four years.
“This year’s an opportunity and then if we do well this year, next year’s an opportunity. So that’s the way I think about it.”
Ange Postecoglou confused by reaction to silverware message
17:54 , George Flood
Ange Postecoglou seemed rather baffled by the reaction to his ‘second season’ trophy claim made again in a somewhat prickly exchange following Tottenham’s third consecutive home north London derby loss on Sunday.
The Australian insists it was not any sort of boast, but merely a statement of fact that he has delivered silverware in his sophomore campaigns at previous clubs.
“It’s amazing, isn’t it? I just stated a fact and it seems like, am I supposed to just lie or just say it never happened?” he said.
“But, no, it’s just confusing to me that people are making a big deal out of something.
“I’m not sure how I’m supposed to answer something that is true.
“Like if I don’t win it in the second year this year and I come out next year and say ‘well, I always win it’, well, no, actually it’s not true, but I’ve just said something that’s true, and it seems like it’s upset a lot of people for some reason.
“But do you really think it’s me sort of boasting? How am I supposed to answer something that’s true?
“Is it to say ‘well, actually, no, it wasn’t that important, they were easy competitions and they don’t mean anything’.
“If you’ve achieved something, aren’t you supposed to say ‘ yes, I have, and that’s what I hope to do again’?
“I’m not really sure why people misconstrue it as me trying to boast about something.
“I’ve answered a question which I think somebody else brought up here anyway, before that, which is true.
“That’s always happened and my plan is for it to happen again this year.
“And if it doesn’t happen, then I can’t answer that question in the same way next year, I can say ‘mostly’ not ‘always’.”
Coventry vs Tottenham prediction
17:47 , George Flood
Tottenham have just one Premier League win so far this season – coming against beleaguered Everton – but have largely dominated their four games while struggling to convert chances.
A trip up to Coventry will by no means be plain sailing, but Spurs should have enough about them to see off a team who have similarly struggled to pick up points this term.
Spurs to win, 3-1.
Tottenham team news
17:44 , George Flood
Tottenham remain without midfielder Yves Bissouma, whom Ange Postecoglou hopes could be fit for the Premier League clash with Brentford on Saturday after suffering a groin issue on international duty with Mali and missing the north London derby defeat by Arsenal.
Spurs are also still missing Richarlison, with the Brazilian forward having picked up an unspecified issue during training before the loss at Newcastle earlier this month.
Otherwise Tottenham have a clean bill of health, though both managers face a conundrum in terms of how many changes to make tonight.
Coventry team news
17:39 , George Flood
Coventry will be very eager for midfielder Ben Sheaf to return tonight, with the former Arsenal youngster having made just one substitute appearance so far this season due to an ankle injury.
However, he has been back training so could play some part for the Sky Blues this evening.
Likewise Japanese winger Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, though midfielder Josh Eccles could miss out after sustaining a shoulder injury during the 1-1 draw at in-form Watford in the Championship on Saturday.
Former Manchester City defender Joel Latibeaudiere also sustained a knock at Vicarage Road.
Where to watch Coventry vs Tottenham
17:33 , George Flood
TV channel: In the UK, tonight’s game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers will also be able to watch on a live stream online via the Sky Go app.
Coventry vs Tottenham live
17:31 , George Flood
Hello and welcome to Standard Sport’s live coverage of Coventry vs Tottenham in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Spurs could really use a morale-boosting win tonight after Sunday’s galling north London derby loss that followed a narrow Premier League defeat at Newcastle, with the pressure ratcheted up a notch after all the focus this week on a defiant Ange Postecoglou’s confidence over delivering a trophy in his second season in charge.
Coventry have not been in the best of form themselves so far this season as they sit 14th in the Championship, though have already knocked out both Bristol City and Oxford this term.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST, so keep it right here for match build-up, team news and live updates across the evening.
We will also have expert analysis from Standard Sport’s chief football correspondent Dan Kilpatrick at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
