Tottenham, under the stewardship of Roberto De Zerbi, are still on the hunt for their first victory of the new Premier League season. Last weekend, Spurs managed to secure a draw against Manchester United (1-1) despite being a man down, but their finishing woes remain apparent.
Their next opponent is promoted side Coventry, who were initially seen as the perfect opportunity for Tottenham to end their winless streak.
However, the modest club shocked everyone in the sixth round by thrashing Newcastle 4-1 at home. Notably, Newcastle had previously dispatched De Zerbi's team comfortably with a 2-0 victory in the second round.
Now, facing a resurgent Coventry doesn't look like a walk in the park for Tottenham. They'll need to step up their game significantly, particularly in attack, to avoid stumbling ahead of their upcoming London derby against Chelsea.
