Ange Postecoglou and Ruben Amorim meet in huge quarter-final clash
Tottenham take on Manchester United for a place in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou always wins something in his second season at a club and the spotlight is on the Australian.
While Spurs got back to winning ways on Sunday with a 5-0 victory at Southampton, quite how much can be taken from that is up for debate given the Saints’ perilous position in the Premier League.
But a victory over United would be a statement of intent.
Ruben Amorim’s side are yet to fully convince under their new manager, though their dramatic 2-1 victory against Manchester City on Sunday will have raised confidence.

It’s difficult to imagine Spurs winning quite as easily as they did in the 3-0 victory against Erik ten Hag’s United in September.
Still, with United yet to wholly convince, Postecoglou has to be confident.
