We didn’t have to wait long to find out Tottenham Hotspur’s opponent in the next round of the Carabao Cup. Minutes after a hard-fought (and ultimately pyrrhic?) 2-1 win over Manchester City, they’ll now stay at home again and host the OTHER Manchester club. Spurs were drawn home to Manchester United in the quarterfinals, which will take place the week of December 17.
All in all — not too bad of a draw! This quarterfinal featured all Premier League teams so there’s not a ton of drama to be pulled from this draw, although I fully expected karma to draw Spurs away to Arsenal in this round. United are a pretty poor team as far as major Premier League clubs go, though who knows what will happen now that they’ve sacked Erik ten Hag and are close to appointing Rubin Amorim from Sporting. There’s a good two months for them to figure stuff out before this match takes place, but it’s certainly not the most dangerous team Tottenham could’ve drawn in this event.
Here’s the full draw:
