Tottenham Hotspur is looking to rebound in the EFL Cup following a disappointing start to the season, with manager Ange Postecoglou facing pressure after poor performances, particularly in the North London Derby. Key players such as Archie Gray, who has yet to make a significant impact, and Dragusin are expected to play pivotal roles against Coventry. In broader football news, Bayern Munich made headlines by scoring a record nine goals in a single Champions League match, with Harry Kane netting four of them, while Liverpool and Aston Villa also secured important victories in their matches. Sunderland started strong in the Championship but suffered their first defeat recently and aim to bounce back against Middlesbrough. The overall excitement in football continues as teams engage in multiple competitions, highlighting significant performances across leagues. Meanwhile, Toni Duggan announced her retirement, marking a notable moment in women's football.
