Prediction: 0-3
Tottenham
David faces Goliath at JobServe Community Stadium on Tuesday evening as League Two side Colchester United take on star-studded Premier League side Tottenham. The U’s are brimming with confidence following back-to-back wins over Swindon Town and Leyton Orient, but they face an uphill task in the League Cup clash against Mauro Pochettino’s troops.
Colchester United did well to eliminate Crystal Palace on penalties in the previous round, but we do not believe that they are capable of claiming yet another major scalp in the competition. Spurs are determined to make amends for an unlucky 2-1 loss to Leicester City and we are positive that they are going to fight tooth and nail against the League Two side. When the two teams met in the FA Cup three years ago Tottenham crushed Colchester United 4-1 and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
