EFL Cup Semi-Final Live-Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford: Tottenham and Brentford face off on Tuesday for a place in the EFL 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.

EFL Cup Semi-Final Live: TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR VS BRENTFORD TEAM NEWS
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
Jose Mourinho will hope to name a strong side for this game, but he still has a number of injuries to deal with. Tottenham will be without midfielder Giovani Lo Celso and forward Gareth Bale, who are both injured. Some reports have also suggested that Erik Lamela has tested positive for COVID-19, but this has not been confirmed.
Right-back Matt Doherty will miss out through suspension due to picking up a red card against Leeds at the weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur Predicted XI (4-3-3): Hugo Lloris, Japhet Tanganga, Toby Alderweireld, Eric Dier, Sergio Reguilon, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Moussa Sissoko, Tanguy Ndombele, Steven Bergwijn, Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min
BRENTFORD
Brentford boss Thomas Frank will be without two players for this game. Mads Roerslev and Shandon Baptiste are sidelined, although they may be ready to return later this month.
Brentford Predicted XI (4-3-3): David Raya, Henrik Dalsgaard, Pontus Jansson, Ethan Pinnock, Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva, Vitaly Janelt, Mathias Jensen, Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney, Sergi Canos
EFL Cup Semi-Final Live: TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR VS BRENTFORD PREDICTION
This match represents a great chance for Tottenham to make their first domestic cup final since 2015, but it could also be a potential banana skin. Brentford will be no pushovers by any means and will surely put up much more of a fight than Stoke did two weeks ago.
However, Jose Mourinho’s side must go into this game as heavy favorites. Brentford might be a Premier League-quality side on a tremendous run, but Tottenham have a far stronger side on paper. They should also be fully focused, with their next Premier League game not coming until 13 January.
With that in mind, a relatively tight win for Tottenham seems to be the most likely outcome.
