Ange Postecoglou has tended to play down the significance of the domestic cups at Tottenham, previously insisting that they were not a quick fix for the club's problems, but the head coach made no attempt to dismiss the potential impact of beating Liverpool on Thursday.

Despite a lack of activity during the transfer window, Ange Postecoglou made one signing who is going to replace Heung-min Son in years to come. Spurs have been troubled with an injury crisis all season and will be without ten first-team players for Thursday’s EFL Cup second-leg clash with Liverpool.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou feels new signing Mathys Tel will have the opportunity to play in a system that suits him well and is a perfect addition to the Spurs squad. The Lilywhites agreed a loan deal with buy option to sign Tel from Bayern Munich on deadline day of the winter transfer window.
