450 minutes. That's all that separates Tottenham Hotspur from their first major trophy in 16 years. Well, that and the small matter of a League Cup round of 16 tie against Manchester City, the four-time reigning Premier League champions, but that is neither here nor there.

What is another League Cup for Manchester City anyway? They have only won it 6 times in the last 10 seasons, including 4 out of 8 under Pep Guardiola. Kevin De Bruyne, who is currently out injured, is the last remaining player from the pre-Guardiola era to have won the League Cup five times.

Tottenham, on the other hand, have only played four finals (three of them in the League Cup) and have fallen short in all four finals since they last won silverware in 2008. It remains to be seen whether Ange Postecoglou will play or not. The style is sustainable over 38 PL games, but a cup competition where you only have to play six games against five different teams? If only the draw had been kinder to them.

Postecoglou has yet to beat Guardiola, the two teams drawing 3-3 in their first meeting last December, followed by 1-0 and 2-0 victories for Man City in the FA Cup and PL respectively .
