Tottenham’s Premier League match against Chelsea has been postponed as the Blues qualified for the League Cup final.
Despite a shock 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the semi-final against Middleborough, Mauricio Pochettino‘s side won convincingly 6-1 in the second leg, sealing a comfortable position in the finals.
An own goal broke the tie, followed by goals from Enzo Fernandez, Disasi, Cole Palmer (x2), and Madueke.
Chelsea will now meet either Liverpool or Fulham in the League Cup final, which is slated for Sunday, February 25 at Wembley Stadium.
Tottenham will now have to wait for a shot at redemption after suffering a crushing defeat at home in November.
Not only did Mauricio Pochettino‘s team defeat them 4-1, ending their unbeaten streak, but the game also saw two of their greatest players, James Maddison and Micky van de Ven, sustain long-term injuries, temporarily derailing their season.
The showdown between the two London rivals at Stamford Bridge, which was originally set for February 23, has been rescheduled due to Chelsea’s extended fixture list.
