Tottenham Hotspur return to League Cup play on Wednesday night against Manchester City, following another disappointing weekend.
Tottenham lost to Crystal Palace on Sunday, just when Ange Postecoglou thought the club had recovered from their defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Spurs have no time to reflect on their defeat at Selhurst Park, as their Carabao Cup odyssey continues on Wednesday in north London.
Pep Guardiola is poised to field a weaker squad against Tottenham on Wednesday night, with his primary focus on the league and Champions League.
However, there now appears to be a team selection choice going to be made by Postecoglou, which may not sit well with
Timo Werner poised to start for Tottenham against Manchester City.
According to GiveMeSport, Postecoglou will give Werner the nod against Manchester City on Wednesday night.
This comes after the German winger was removed from the starting lineup after being replaced at halftime against AZ Alkmaar.
Young Mikey Moore began against the Dutch and will play on the left versus Palace on Sunday.
However, with Heung-min Son still out due to injury and Wilson Odobert suffering an injury setback, the £15 million Werner is expected to reclaim his left-back berth.
Given Werner’s terrible start to the season, this move may not appeal to everyone in a game that Spurs fans will regard as a must-win.
