Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping that the EFL Cup provides some brief respite from their worsening Premier League form when they take on Championship side Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium on Wednesday night.
A place in the semi-finals is up for grabs as Stoke aim to reach the last four for only the second time since 1971-72, while Spurs continue their search for a first trophy since last lifting this one in 2008.
We say: Stoke City 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Stoke are really struggling for goals at the moment and, while their defensive record commands respect, they do not often come up against an attack with the quality of Tottenham's - even accounting for the changes likely to be made by Mourinho.
Spurs have suffered a dip in form at a really bad time, but we can see them getting back to winning ways and progressing to the semi-finals here.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Everton vs. Man Utd (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Two of the Premier League's form teams do battle in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night, with a semi-final spot up for grabs when Everton welcome Manchester United to Goodison Park.
The Toffees come into the match off the back of three successive wins, while Man United have won six of their last seven outings domestically to catapult themselves into title contention.
We say: Everton 1-2 Manchester United
This is a difficult match to call between two in-form teams who are likely to make changes to their starting XI, and both will go into this match fully confident that they can progress to the semi-finals.
It is a match which could go either way, but given that changes are likely and that Man United possess greater strength in depth than the hosts, we believe that could be the deciding factor in an away win.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
