Tottenham boss Thomas Frank will hope that his players do not get complacent in the upcoming cup tie
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has clearly outlined his goals for this season as the Lilywhites prepare to build on their Europa League success. The Danish tactician wants the North London club to compete hard on all four fronts this time around, with the focus being on finishing the Premier League campaign strong and experiencing a deep cup run in one of the domestic competitions.
There is no doubt that Frank will see the Carabao Cup as a realistic opportunity to build on last season’s European success. Winning the competition would certainly give the ex-Brentford boss a solid platform to build on and close the gap on their rivals in the coming years. The opportunity to go all the way in the competition should not be taken lightly, considering that this might be the only trophy Spurs have a chance of winning.
After enduring a brilliant start to the new season, Spurs fans will be confident to qualify for the latter stages of the Carabao Cup. The Lilywhites fell just short of the mark last time around in the competition after getting beat by Liverpool in the semi-finals. However, the North London club would aim to go all the way in the competition and bring silverware back home this time around.
Tottenham prepare for tricky test against Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup
There is no such thing as an easy fixture in cup competitions. And that is something that Tottenham would have to remind themselves as they prepare for a tricky fixture against Doncaster Rovers in the 3rd round of the Carabao Cup. The Lilywhites cannot falter as it might have massive repercussions for the rest of the season for Thomas Frank’s men.
Playing at home, the result against Doncaster Rovers should be pretty straightforward for Spurs as they prepare to go on a good run in the competition. And that is exactly what football writer Jake Clipson-Cox predicts will happen in the cup game. Writing for The72, Clipson-Cox has said,
“A classic cup match as one of the Premier League giants take on League One opposition in Doncaster. Both sides have made encouraging starts in their respective divisions, so will be looking to continue their form.”
The football writer adds,
“Spurs will know that it is their match to lose, and this will likely mean that Frank will make changes. Being backed by a home crowd, I can’t see the game going any other way than a comfortable victory for the hosts, who will reach the fourth round once again. A 3-0 win for Tottenham.”
Both Tottenham and Doncaster Rovers have endured a brilliant start to their respective campaigns this season. So, the Lilywhites should not take the League One outfit lightly as they will try cause an upset if they are given an inch of space. However, Spurs fans will be less anxious heading into the game as it is being played at home, giving the North London club a massive advantage against the Rovers. Taking note of that, football writer Jake Clipson-Cox has predicted Thomas Frank’s men to win the tie 3-0.
Will it be a comfortable win for the Lilywhites? Or will it end up being another ‘Spursy’ moment for Thomas Frank’s men? Only time will tell. For now, Tottenham must look to field a strong eleven and give themselves a great chance of qualifying for the next round.
