Spurs’ last honour came in this same tournament thirteen years ago, and with a coach of Jose Mourinho’s silverware-winning pedigree at the helm, it could be suggested that this term’s Carabao Cup represents the team’s best opportunity to add another trophy since that triumph in 2007/08. With a Championship team standing between Tottenham and the final – versus either Manchester United or Man City – Spurs supporters will be optimistic, but Brentford’s quality should not be underestimated. The Bees have claimed four Premier League scalps in the competition this season, most recently defeating Newcastle in the quarter-finals. READ MORE: Mourinho can take comfort from Spurs’ predictability in most chaotic of seasons All the pressure is on Spurs tonight. Here’s what you need to know about the Carabao Cup semi-final. Tottenham and Brentford face off tonight for a place in the Carabao Cup final. Jose Mourinho was brought to Spurs to win silverware - the club last winning a trophy 13 years ago - and this competition represents his best opportunity since being appointed 14 months ago. Brentford will prove no pushovers, though, and will be fired up having never reached the last four of the League Cup and will hope to translate their league form, having not lost in any competition since October. Date, time and venue Tottenham vs Brentford is scheduled for an 7.45pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday, January 5, 2020. The match will be held behind closed doors at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Jose Mourinho has confirmed Erik Lamela will not be available for the game, though refused to elaborate on why. Lamela was one of three Spurs players, with Sergio Reguilon and the injured Giovani Lo Celso the other two. Steven Bergwijn is a slight doubt with a groin injury, while Gareth Bale is also out. Matt Doherty was sent off against Leeds so is unavailable for the Carabao Cup. Brentford are without influential midfielder Christian Norgaard due to an ankle injury. Their Championship fixture against Bristol City was postponed at the weekend due to coronavirus symptoms within the city squad, but the Bees have all tested negative. Boss Thomas Frank has confirmed his squad will be the same as the one which faced Bournemouth on December 30. Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Brentford Spurs are a tougher nut to crack of late but Brentford are in a fine run of form and will pose the hosts plenty of problems. Jose Mourinho’s cup nous should see them through, though.
