STOKE VS TOTTENHAM MATCH ANALYSIS
Stoke have kept their Carabao Cup hopes alive by surprisingly defeating the Wolves on the road (0-1) in the second round, which was followed with a 1-0 win against the League One side Gillingham that set them up against Villa in the 4th round. They recorded another 1-0 win on the road and are facing Tottenham on Wednesday. The Spurs have been given a bye into the Carabao Cup fourth round after their tie with Leyton Orient was called off when a number of Orient's players tested positive for Covid-19. The English Football League decided the League Two club must forfeit the tie having been unable to play the fixture, in line with competition rules. Therefore, the Spurs faced Premier League rivals Chelsea and won after a penalty shoot-out (1-1).
The Potters have had a fair share of injury concerns to deal with. Veteran striker Lee Gregory, former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel, centre-back Harry Souttar, Scotland international Steven Fletcher, midfielder Jordan Thompson, goalkeepers Angus Gunn and Adam Davies, and Wales international Joe Allen have all been out due to injuries. Despite missing important players, Michael O'Neill's side has enjoyed good performances, and the Potters are well-positioned to be in contention for the promotion spots and to progress in the Carabao Cup.
As for their 4th round win against Villa, the last season's finalists, Sam Vokes scored the game's only goal in the first half, when the experienced striker headed home from a corner. He caused the Villa defense plenty of problems with his physicality and is likely to feature again against the Spurs. The win also meant that Stoke have won each of their past three EFL Cup ties against sides from a higher division - their best such run in the competition.
Tottenham, on the other side, come into this game on the back of a 2-1 defeat against Liverpool last Wednesday at Anfield and a 0-2 defeat to Leicester at home on Sunday. They no longer remain top of the league and have recorded back-to-back defeats for the first time in all competitions this season. Due to a coronavirus outbreak in the Leyton Orient squad, Tottenham's third-round Carabao Cup match was called off and the Spurs were given a walk-over to the next round, where they faced Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
On September 29, the Spurs edged past Chelsea after Mason Mount missed the crucial spot-kick as Tottenham knocked out Chelsea on penalties after a 1-1 draw to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. New signing Timo Werner gave the Blues the lead when he netted his first goal for the club with a clinical finish into the bottom corner. Jose Mourinho's side was a better side after the break and got their reward seven minutes from time when Spaniard Reguilon's cross found Erik Lamela to coolly convert from six yards.

The only previous League Cup meeting between Stoke and Spurs was in September 2011, a goalless draw with the Potters winning 7-6 on penalties to progress.
Spurs have won their last five games against Stoke, winning all five in the Premier League between April 2016 and April 2018, while Stoke are looking to reach the League Cup semi-final as a non-top-flight club for the first time. They have progressed three times previously to that stage, each time as a top-flight team.
Tottenham's last piece of silverware was the League Cup in 2008 and even though Mourinho will probably field a second-string side they are firm favorites against the Championship outfit Stoke.
BettingKick’s prediction for Tottenham vs Stoke match is: Tottenham win.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
