However, the North London side could not have been handed a trickier tie to navigate in the fourth-round.
Spurs were drawn against Manchester City with the one boost that it will be played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
And fans reacted on social media to complain about the tough fixture.
One posted: “I’m shocked, draw is rigged as hell lol.”
A second wrote: “That Carabao draw is so rigged, every time we get a hard draw.”
A third commented: “Man City at home, I hate this rigged competition.”
A fourth fumed: “It’s rigged, they don’t want Ange Postecoglou to win anything. Watch us get Man City in the FA Cup too.”
Another added: “Last year we got them in the FA Cup last season 4th round now this year we got them in the league cup 4th round please don’t tell me that’s a coincidence, rigged.”

Here is the full draw for the fourth round of the Carabao Cup…
- Brentford vs Sheffield Wednesday
- Southampton vs Stoke City

Man City, however, played on Tuesday evening and dispatched Watford 2-1 at the Etihad.
Postecoglou earlier this season proclaimed that he always wins silverware in his second season at clubs.
However, if he is to continue that run he will have to guide his side past Pep Guardiola‘s outfit.
Elsewhere, Arsenal hammered Bolton 5-1 and Liverpool matched the scoreline against West Ham at Anfield to progress.
