Coventry City and Spurs have met five times previously in the League Cup, with the Londoners progressing three times to the Sky Blues’ two. Their last meeting was in 2003-04, a 3-0 Spurs win at Highfield Road in the second round.

Tottenham have won their last four games against Coventry in all competitions without conceding a goal, although this is their first clash since the third round of the FA Cup in 2012-13, a 3-0 Spurs victory.

Coventry are looking to reach the League Cup fourth round for the first time since 2007-08, when they beat Man Utd 2-0 in the third round. Their only appearance in the third round since then was in 2012-13, losing 6-1 to Arsenal in Mark Robins’ first spell as manager.

Spurs have progressed from 16 of their last 17 League Cup ties against sides from outside the Premier League, the exception in the 2019-20 third round when they went out on penalties to Colchester after a goalless draw. The last non-Premier League team to eliminate them without penalties were Grimsby Town in September 2005, a 1-0 win.
