Tottenham Hotspur will kick off their EFL Cup campaign against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Wednesday (November 9).
Spurs are on a four-game winning streak against Nottingham and will look to continue in the same vein.
Nottingham failed to find their feet in the Premier League, as they could only salvage a 2-2 draw against Brentford last weekend.
They have now managed just one win in their last 11 league games, losing seven and drawing three.
Manager Steve Cooper will hope his side can take the positives from their draw against Brentford as they turn their attention to the EFL Cup, where they lost in the second round last season.
Tottenham, meanwhile, were sent crashing down to earth on Sunday, as they lost 2-1 against Liverpool at home. Before that, they were on a three-game unbeaten run, claiming one draw and two wins.
Spurs head into Wednesday unbeaten in four of their last five away games, picking up three wins and a draw.
