After what has been a challenging month for Ange Postecoglou, the prospect of a cup final may just be focal point that Spurs and their under-pressure boss so desperately need.

The Carabao Cup semi-finals are now well underway. A brilliant 2-0 away win by Newcastle United at Arsenal on Tuesday night, really lighting up the competition in the first leg of two in that tie. Goals from Isak and Gordon giving United a deserved win.

The Reds look to take a step closer to defending the cup as they travel to north London for today's first leg.
