It's a line-up as expected. Tottenham Hotspur has formed a starting lineup of young players in the away match of the English Football League Cup (EFL Cup) against Coventry City, which is considered one step below. Son Heung-min (32), who has continued his push through the North London derby against Arsenal following the A-match, is rested after being excluded from the starting lineup. It is included in the waiting list, so you can participate in the Joker.
Tottenham will play the third round of the EFL Cup against Coventry City, a Championship (second division) member, at the Rico Arena in Coventry, England, at 4 a.m. on the 19th (Korea time). Tottenham, which had its worst start in the early days of the English Premier League (EPL) season with one win, one draw and two losses, is seeking to restore confidence through this game.
In addition, in reality, the EFL Cup is almost the only competition Tottenham can win this season. Teams with strong league power, such as Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, do not focus their efforts on the tournament. Tottenham deserve a niche market.
Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou attempted a drastic change in the lineup of the game on the day. He changed as many as eight players in the EPL fourth round starting lineup against Arsenal. Destiny Udoghi, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dominic Solanke are the only starters in the starting lineup announced an hour before the start of the game, as in the previous Arsenal match.
In the 4-3-3 formation, Wilson O'Dober, Solanke, and Timo Werner matched the offensive combination. Bentencourt, Pape Sarr and Lucas Beribal then formed the second line. Four backs are Archie Gray, Raghu Dragusin Ben Davies, and Udogi. Frazier Foster took charge of the goal for the first time in a year.
Son Heung-min is on the waiting list for now, along with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Sergio Reguilon, Pedro Porro and Jed Spence.
