Latest Spurs news: Tottenham to face Colchester United in Carabao Cup third round

Tottenham face an away trip in the third round of the Carabao Cup, with League Two side Colchester United hosting us.

The third round fixtures will be played commencing on 23rd September and more details about the time of the game will be shared in due course.

Colchester produced one of the shocks of the tournament by knocking out Crystal Palace on penalties in the second round.

The last time we faced Colchester was in the FA Cup in 2016 and we won that tie 4-1.

Tottenham looking to go one better in this season’s competition

Tottenham reached the semi-finals of the competition in the previous season but were knocked out by Chelsea on penalties.

Spurs won the first leg but saw Chelsea pick up a win in the second before Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to come off the pitch under Maurizio Sarri.

Tottenham should be favourites for this clash but have to be smart in dealing with their threat.

Mauricio Pochettino is yet to win a trophy in his Tottenham career, and that has to be the target for the Argentine this season.
