Fri Dec 20 02:17:50 UTC 2024: ## Tottenham and Manchester United Vie for Carabao Cup Semi-Final Spot

**London, England** – Tonight, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United clash in the final Carabao Cup quarter-final, battling for a place alongside Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle in the semi-finals. Both teams enter the match on a high following weekend victories: Spurs’ emphatic 5-0 win over Southampton and United’s dramatic late comeback against Manchester City.

The match kicks off at 8pm GMT (12pm PT, 3pm ET) and will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football in the UK, and streamed on Paramount+ in the USA. Crucially, this stage of the competition features no VAR, meaning any refereeing decisions are final. A penalty shootout will decide the winner if the game ends in a draw after 90 minutes.

Both teams face injury concerns. Tottenham will be without nine players, including goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and suspended Rodrigo Bentancur, while several others are doubtful. Manchester United are also hampered by injuries, with Mason Mount and Luke Shaw sidelined, and Noussair Mazraoui a question mark. However, Jonny Evans may return.

The semi-final draw will take place immediately after the match. The winner will join the three already-qualified teams to determine the last four contenders for the Carabao Cup trophy.
