Tottenham will face Sheffield United in the second leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final on Wednesday, the 28th of January at the Bramall Lane.

Tottenham will start the match with a one goal advantage after a second half penalty from Andros Townsend gave them a win in the first leg. The victory did not come easy for the home side and they will surely be feeling the pressure especially after being at the receiving end of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Leicester last time out.

It was Townsend who once again opened up the scoring from the penalty spot but the visitors soon responded through Leonardo Ulloa and Jeffrey Schlupp as Spurs were dumped out of the tournament.
Michel Vorm  who made an error which led to one of the goals is Pochettino's first choice keeper for domestic cup competitions and the former Southampton boss has insisted that the Dutch goalie will retain his place between the posts in the second leg.

"This is football. He made two big saves against Leicester," he told reporters. "His attitude is fantastic and nothing has changed. In one action he conceded a goal.

"He made a mistake. Every player can make a mistake, we must give him support and confidence.

"I think it should be normal to play Michel. This is football. All games are important. He had a good performance [against Leicester]."

The Tottenham boss has also insisted on the importance of registering a goal during tomorrow's match also urging his players to forget that they hold a one goal advantage.

"I think the pressure is the same as it was in the home game. we want to get to the final. But after the first leg we need to be careful. Though we need to play freely. We need to score.

"We need to be 100 per cent focused. Our fans expect us to arrive in the final at Wembley. But we need to play better than Sheffield, show more energy than Sheffield and try to fight.

"For me we need to go there thinking it is 0-0. I believe we will need to score. We have to forget about the first leg and show the mentality to win."

"When I speak about being more aggressive it is in the right way. We need to fight to get on the ball and instil our game."

Sheffield on the other hand have failed to record a victory in their last three matches and will be looking to pull off an upset at the expense of Tottenham when the two sides meet on Wednesday.
