The last four teams in the Carabao Cup will be confirmed on Thursday night when Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United in the final quarter-final match of the competition. The Lilywhites last reached this stage of the competition in 2021-22 while the Red Devils won the title in 2022-23 for the sixth time in their history. Check out our match prediction below!
Spurs earned their place in the last eight of this competition by beating Coventry City 2-1 in the third round before knocking out Manchester City by the same scoreline in the Round of 16. Man United’s route to the quarter-final has been much more straightforward, including a 7-0 thumping of Burnley in round three followed by a 5-2 thrashing of Leicester City in the last round.
Bookmakers currently have the hosts priced as favourites, but by a very slender margin, suggesting we could have a close contest on our hands. Let’s take a look at some of the key stats to consider in this one.

Tottenham - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Tottenham Hotspur have been a mixed bag since returning from the November international break, having posted a record of two wins, three draws and two losses in their last seven games.
Spurs' most recent match saw them thrash Premier League basement club Southampton 5-0 over the weekend, but that followed a run of six matches without a victory (W0 D4 L2).
That win came on the road though, while the Lilywhites are now riding a four-match winless streak at home, and conceded two or more goals in three of the matches during that period.
However, Spurs are unbeaten in their last four matches against this opponent (W2 D2 L0)!
Meanwhile, Manchester United will arrive in the capital riding high on confidence after pulling off a dramatic last-minute 2-1 win over cross-town rivals Manchester City on the road on Sunday.
That result marked the fifth time in the last six matches that the Red Devils have scored two or more goals with the only exception being a 2-0 loss to Arsenal at the start of the month.
The visitors have now won their last two away games across all competitions, a notable improvement after going without a victory in their seven preceding games on the road.

Tottenham & Manchester United Squad Analysis
Ange Postecoglou has a fair few absentees at present, especially in defence, starting with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who is ruled out until March with a fractured ankle.
Fraser Forster will therefore continue between the sticks, but in front of him, defenders Cristian Romero (thigh), Micky van de Ven (hamstring) and Ben Davies (hamstring) are out injured.
Further upfield, Destiny Udogie is a doubt after being withdrawn over the weekend with a knock, while Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore are also sidelined with injuries.
Dejan Kulusevski has scored in three consecutive matches for Spurs ahead of this one.
For United, Noussair Mazraoui was taken off in the 78th minute against City over the weekend and is flagged as a minor doubt for this match owing to a niggle.
Mason Mount, meanwhile, lasted just 14 minutes in the derby before he was forced off with an injury, and he will likely sit out this match alongside Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans.

Our Tottenham vs Manchester United Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur will be feeling a lot better about themselves after that big result last week brought an end to their winless run. However, they will now need to do likewise at home where they have failed to win any of their last four.
Man United, on the other hand, are starting to show major signs of improvement under Ruben Amorim, and their attack has been finding the net with regularity lately, netting 10 in their last five games. Based on these teams' respective forms, we’re expecting plenty of goalmouth action in this match. Therefore, our Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United prediction is BTTS & either team to win.
