| Match Preview |
| Hull City visit Tottenham Hotspur for the second time in four days in their fourth round Capital One Cup clash.Sunday's Premier League encounter saw the two sides separated by a late Roberto Soldado penalty for Spurs, with the Tigers largely frustrating Andre Villas-Boas' side throughout.There have been mumblings of discontent at White Hart Lane despite Spurs sitting in the top four, with the North London side netting a relatively low nine goals in nine games.Villas-Boas has urged their supporters to back the team, launching a stinging attack on the fans after Sunday's tense atmosphere.They should, however, be confident of another victory over the Tigers having won their third round fixture at Aston Villa impressively, with goals from Jermain Defoe (2), Paulinho and Nacer Chadli ensuring a 4-0 victory.Hull currently sit in the top half of the Premier League table and have been somewhat of a surprise package, with results such as their 3-2 win over Newcastle at St James' Park showing that Steve Bruce's side cannot be underestimated.Before Sunday's match, the Tigers were on a six-match unbeaten run in all competitions including their third round 1-0 win over Huddersfield, thanks to a Nick Proschwitz strike.With both sides expected to make widespread changes, Bruce will be hoping that his side can bounce back from Sunday's defeat and increase the tension within White Hart Lane. |
| TOTTENHAM Team News |
| Tottenham are likely to be without defenders Danny Rose and Younes Kaboul as they host Hull in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup. Rose has a toe injury and Kaboul an adductor problem. Midfielder Etienne Capoue is expected to miss out as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury while defender Zeki Fryers (groin) is doubtful.Manager Villas-Boas will rotate his squad, meaning the likes of Erik Lamela, Brad Friedel, Defoe and even Emmanuel Adebayor, who has not played yet this season, could get run outs. |
| Hull City Tigers Team News |
| Hull are again operating at reduced capacity for their second visit to White Hart Lane. Allan McGregor (thigh), Danny Graham (knee), James Chester (hamstring) and Sone Aluko (calf) remain out, Jake Livermore cannot play against his parent club and Robert Koren and Robbie Brady are unlikely to be risked from the start.Curtis Davies and former Spurs midfielder Tom Huddlestone may also be confined to the bench as Bruce looks to preserve them for league duty. |
