Leyton Orient Preview – Can the O’s upset the Premier League giants?
Ross Embleton’s Leyton Orient have made an excellent start to their 2020-21 season. The O’s have won four and drawn one of their opening five league and cup fixtures of the campaign.
In League Two, Leyton Orient have picked up four points from a possible six, winning 1-0 at Oldham Athletic and drawing 2-2 at home with Mansfield Town last time out. Orient also beat Brighton & Hove Albion’s U21 side 3-2 in the Football League Trophy earlier this month.
In the first round of this season’s Carabao Cup, the east Londoners saw off Forest Green Rovers by a 2-1 scoreline on the road. They set up this glamour tie with Tottenham by beating Plymouth Argyle 3-2 at Brisbane Road in round two. Can Embleton’s boys cause an almighty cup upset on home soil this Tuesday?
Tottenham Hotspur Preview – Will Mourinho’s men be too strong for their League Two opponents?
Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur have a very busy time at the moment. Spurs, who played on Sunday, travel to Macedonia on Thursday in UEFA Europa League action. The Lilywhites then welcome Newcastle United to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League this Sunday.
After a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Everton in their Premier League opener, Spurs returned to winning ways in the league with a stunning 5-2 victory at Southampton on Sunday. Heung-Min Son was on fire at St Mary’s, helping himself to four goals in the romp – Harry Kane got the other. Spurs also won 2-1 against Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the Europa League last Thursday.

Key Facts – Leyton Orient vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Tip
- Tottenham have scored seven goals in their last two fixtures

- This will be the first meeting between Orient and Spurs since January 2001
On paper, Tottenham should cruise past Leyton Orient and book their place in round four of this term’s EFL Cup. Mourinho will no doubt make wholesale changes to his team, but whichever XI the Portuguese chooses to field should have far too much quality for the League Two outfit.
