Tottenham Hotspur have incurred a difficult start to their Premier League campaign as they accumulated only four points from the opening four games of the season, marking the worst start the club has had in the past nine years. Ange Postecoglou has been handed the armoury by Daniel Levy in the summer transfer window, albeit the impact has just not been seen yet.
The North Londoners now have an opportunity to get away from the English top tier and gain their confidence back in the league cup. Spurs are scheduled to face Coventry City in the Carabao Cup in the ongoing midweek.
The EFL Cup is generally a time where the supporters get to see young and promising players, who generally don’t get to experience senior football in the Premier League. Managers use it to build confidence, something Ange Postecoglou’s side desperately needs at the moment.
Tottenham to unleash Archie in Carabao Cup debut
Tottenham are set to start promising young midfielder Archie Gray when they face Coventry City tomorrow, per an exclusive by Give Me Sport.
The teenager made a highly anticipated move to White Hart Lane in a £40 million transfer from Leeds United this summer and has already made two substitute appearances in the English top tier. However, the midweek fixture hands him a significant opportunity to showcase his skills from the get-go.

The Lilywhites have a busy schedule around the corner, owing to domestic and European commitments, and Ange Postecoglou is likely to rotate his squad and hand youngsters via. Gray an opportunity to make an impact.
Is Gray the Future of Spurs Midfield?
Gray already showed that he belongs to the Premiership when he made his competitive debut donning the Lilywhites badge against Leicester City in the opening weekend of the recently commenced campaign. He was equally impressive in the pre-season and has got the Spurs supporters on the edge of their seats with his talent and potential.
The North Londoners always saw Gray as
a first teamer, alongside Lucas Bergvall, another prodigy in the ranks at Hotspur Way. And Tottenham faithful will be eager to watch their talented maestros from the start this midweek.
Archie Gray can use this opportunity to impress Ange and carve himself a place in the starting eleven.
