Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has revealed his side will be favourites to beat Stoke City when the sides meet next month at White Hart Lane in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup.

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas believes his side will be expected to beat fellow Premier League side Stoke City when the pair meet next month at White Hart Lane in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup after the draw for the fourth round was made last night, the Potters overcoming Hull City to book their place in the fourth round draw.

"The draw has been good, we can't complain because we'll play at home in front of our fans and we can beat Stoke. I think we'll be the favourites, I think the pressure will be on us to win this game," revealed Villas-Boas.

"We must be cautious and plan carefully for this game, we know how Stoke will play. They'll play tough football and be hard to beat, but as the home side we must try our best to win," added the Spurs boss.

Spurs have won five of their opening six games in all competitions under Villas-Boas, who took charge during the summer following the sacking of Harry Redknapp, the young and charismatic Portuguese manager praising his players for their professional approach and focus since the beginning of his reign.

"Every player has given it their all so far and for a manager this is fantastic to see. Each day is easy with the players in this moment because they have been focussed and our results have been good," said the 34 year old.

Dembele changed the game - Dempsey

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Clint Dempsey has praised team-mate Mousa Dembele after the Belgian international scored a stunning volley last night in extra time against Reading as the North London club won the pairs third round Capital One Cup clash 2-0 at White Hart Lane.

Spurs advanced to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup last night with a hard fought but deserved 2-0 victory over Reading at White Hart Lane, substitute Mousa Dembele scoring in extra time to give the hosts the lead before a late shot become cross from Danny Graham was diverted home by the unfortunate Chris Gunter.

Although the hosts had dominated proceedings they had lacked the creativity to create clear chances as Adam Federici enjoyed a quiet night for large parts of this Capital One Cup clash. In the end Dembele broke the deadlock with a stunning volley, the Belgian replacing Jermain Jenas at half time as Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas attempted to give his side another dimension in attack, the substitution an inspired one in hindsight.

Following that stunning volley team-mate Clint Dempsey praised the Belgian midfielder.

"Mousa changed the game for us tonight, that's the kind of talent he has, he's a special player," stated Dempsey.

"I've been lucky to play with him for a few seasons now. We created more chances when he was on the pitch and he scored a great individual goal, their keeper had no chance of saving it," added the American international.

The goal against Reading was Dembele's first for Spurs since he joined in the summer, the North London club completing a £15 million transfer, the Belgian international leaving Fulham two years after joining the Cottagers.

Spurs v Lyon will be a good game.

Lloris against his former team!!

Going away to Eastern Europe is always hard, we'll get beat away from home imo

I'd say it depends on how important Pardew sees the competition, as in what team you play in the first leg and how that transpires.

Fergie: Pep has no interest in returning

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola has "no interest" in returning to management in the foreseeable future.

Guardiola, 41, is currently in the United States taking a sabbatical from football after stepping away from the Catalan club at the end of last season, although his reported desire to return to the game next summer has led to him being frantically linked with a number of high profile vacancies.

Chelsea and Manchester City have both been repeatedly linked with the former midfielder - while the unfortunate medical news about current Barca boss Tito Vilanova, Guardiola's former No. 2, had sparked talk of a temporary return at the Nou Camp.

But Ferguson, who has spoken to Guardiola on a couple of occasions in recent times during trips to New York, does not believe the Spaniard is desperate to return to football any time soon.

"I spoke to Pep a while ago and he said he has no interest in getting back into management at the moment," Ferguson told Eurosport. "His record is fantastic. The trophies he won at Barcelona were quite exceptional and that is his CV - he wins trophies.

"Barcelona have always had that style and played attractive football. He increased that by putting a new work ethic into the players.

"They work extremely hard to get the ball back and if you combine that with their possession it makes a fantastic team."

Meanwhile, Ferguson has revealed some of the management strategies that have made him such a success at Old Trafford over the last 26 years, after being the subject of a report by the Harvard Business School.

The Scot claimed that a mixture of intimidation and encouragement formed the basis of his management style.

"You can't ever lose control," he told academics at the prestigious American university. "Not when you are dealing with 30 top professionals who are all millionaires. And if anyone steps out of my control, that's them dead."

He added: "I tell them that hard work is a talent, too. They need to work harder than anyone else. And if they can no longer bring the discipline that we ask for here at United, they are out. I am only interested in players who really want to play for United, and who, like me, are 'bad losers'."

However, he was keen to stress that he does not operate entirely without compassion - using his method of dealing with dropped players as an example.

"I have been dropped from a cup final in Scotland as a player at 10 past two, so I know what it feels like," he said. "I'm not ever sure what they are thinking, but I tend to say 'Look, I might be making a mistake here' - I always say that - 'but I think this is the best team for today'.

"I try to give them a bit of confidence, telling them that it is only tactical, and that there are bigger games coming up."

No way do I want him to miss out, I can't wait to see him back.

We'll probably go out, but I'm mega excited. MEGA.

I hope Shakhtar - Dortmund isn't on the same night, that'll be an ace game.

Obviously I hope he's not injured but I don't want to see him rape us and score a triple hat-trick against us.

I handle loan deals myself and always put a recall clause in the deal incase my player is just being used as a reserve.

This.

And in case I suffer some horrendous injury run that requires they play a few games for me.

If Dortmund can get 80,000 then City who are expanding quickly and aggressively on a global scale should easily be able to reach 60,000, if not more tbh....

Was it a charity game? If it wasn't the fucking goalkeeper should be slapped around the place with a wet fish!!

I've never seen a keeper do that in a futsal game at a free kick.
