Tottenham will host Doncaster Rovers at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when they kick off their EFL Cup campaign.
The Lilywhites bypassed the first two rounds due to their involvement in European football this season. Thomas Frank's side have had a promising start to the 2025/26 season, securing four victories, one draw and suffering only one defeat across all competitions.
The League Cup presents an excellent opportunity for them to add more silverware to their cabinet, having ended a 17-year trophy drought last term, while their Danish manager is still on the hunt for his first career trophy.
Last weekend, Spurs staged a thrilling comeback from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw against Brighton in the Premier League. As four-time winners of the competition, they will undoubtedly be the favourites against Doncaster.
Their League One opponents are currently tied on points with Barnsley and Huddersfield Town in the playoff positions, having secured five victories and suffered three losses this season. Grant McCann's team have already triumphed over Middlesbrough and Accrington Stanley in their first two EFL Cup matches.
Here, we provide all the information you need to watch the upcoming EFL Cup third round clash this week.
