Tottenham to Face Coventry City in Carabao Cup Third Round
In a thrilling development for Tottenham Hotspur fans, the draw for the third round of the Carabao Cup has pitted Spurs against Coventry City. The tie will see Tottenham travel to the Coventry Building Society Arena, a venue where they have never played before. This exciting clash is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, September 18th, as part of the third-round fixtures, which will occur between September 16th and 23rd.
Coventry City, managed by Mark Robins, have shown considerable form this season. They’ve made their way to the third round by defeating Bristol City and Oxford United. Currently positioned ninth in the Championship, Coventry demonstrated their cup prowess last season by reaching the FA Cup semi-finals, where they narrowly lost to Manchester United in a penalty shootout. Their recent performances underscore a strong cup pedigree that could pose a significant challenge for Tottenham.

The last time Spurs faced Coventry City was in January 2013, in the FA Cup third round, where Tottenham secured a comfortable 3-0 victory at White Hart Lane. Before that, the teams clashed in the League Cup back in September 2003 at Coventry’s previous home, Highfield Road, with Tottenham again emerging victorious with a 3-0 win. This upcoming encounter will be Tottenham’s debut at the Coventry Building Society Arena, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the fixture.
The draw’s schedule is influenced by the UEFA Champions League and Europa League fixtures, leading to special arrangements for the Carabao Cup to avoid any fixture clashes. As a result, Tottenham’s match against Coventry City is set for a midweek slot, ensuring no overlap with European competitions.
Other notable draws in the third round include Liverpool taking on West Ham, Manchester City versus Watford, and Arsenal facing Bolton. With these matchups lined up, it promises to be an action-packed round of the Carabao Cup.
