Stoke vs Tottenham LIVE: Latest Carabao Cup updates today

Harry Kane: ‘Heung-min Son partnership has hit new heights this season’
Tottenham Hotspur are taking on Stoke City tonight in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Spurs have enjoyed an excellent start to the season in the Premier League but back-to-back defeats by Liverpool and Leicester leave them sixth in the table and in need of a boost.
That could come tonight against a Stoke City side who are in mixed form under Michael O’Neill, with 33 points from 20 games placing them just outside the play-off places in seventh. But Stoke will be positive of a result here after taking the scalps of Wolves and Aston Villa en route to the last eight. The former Manchester United midfielder Nick Powell carries threat from midfield but Stoke’s top scorer this season, the 20-year-old Tyrese Campbell, is injured and out for most of the campaign.

STOKE 0-1 TOTTENHAM
24’: That was a really gorgeous cross from Winks. One of those crosses where the attacker just needs to add a bit of direction.
Tottenham in complete control.

STOKE 0-1 TOTTENHAM
22’: GOAL! Bale gives Spurs the lead. The Welshman flicks a Harry Winks cross off the back of his head – no doubt helped by the ponytail – and the ball nestles in the corner of the Stoke net.

STOKE 0-0 TOTTENHAM
17’: Very nearly a clear chance for Spurs, as Lucas Moura’s wonderfully lofted pass is hit in the direction of Bale, who’d darted in behind the Stoke defence. But the ball is a little too high.

STOKE 0-0 TOTTENHAM
13’: First shot of the game by Harry Kane, who is slipped through by Doherty. Kane goes for the near post, but Stoke’s Andy Lonergan parries the ball away.

STOKE 0-0 TOTTENHAM
9’: Bale highly involved early on in the game. Bale has struggled for starts this season, with only one in the Premier League so far.
He’ll want to make a strong impression tonight.
