Tottenham and Hull City will clash for the second time in four days, with the two sides vying for victory in the League Cup. Andre Villas-Boas&rsquo; charges secured a 1-0 triumph over Hull in Sunday&rsquo;s EPL tie, and Spurs will again welcome Steve Bruce&rsquo;s side to White Hart Lane today. <img alt="Roberto Soldado" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/oct/Roberto-Soldado_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 402px;" /> Roberto Soldado celebrates after converting a penalty against Hull City at White Hart Lane on Sunday. Pic/Getty Images Tottenham&rsquo;s weekend victory came in debatable circumstances, as referee Michael Oliver awarded a penalty against Ahmed Elmohamady for a handball. The decision appeared a harsh one, with the Egyptian seemingly unintentionally using his arm to block Jan Vertonghen&rsquo;s cross. Spain international Roberto Soldado duly converted the spot kick as Spurs secured back-to-back top-flight victories, much to the chagrin of Bruce.u00a0The fixture with Hull is the hosts&rsquo; third in the space of just seven days, meaning Villas-Boas could rotate his squad with the likes of Erik Lamela coming into contention. The former Roma midfielder has yet to start a Premier League game for the club, and Villas-Boas admits he is looking for the 21-year-old to stake his claim for a starting spot. &ldquo;With Erik it was a little bit more difficult but we have given him massive, massive help and his family arrived this week,&rdquo; he said.u00a0&ldquo;He knows he isn&rsquo;t producing half of what he can produce but he understands that he has to compete for his place.&rdquo; The game is likely to come too soon for Etienne Capoue, despite his return to training from an ankle injury, while Danny Rose is out with a similar problem, but Andros Townsend is not expected to be sidelined after he fell into a photographer&rsquo;s pit on Sunday, injuring his wrist in the process. Hull&rsquo;s injury woes Hull, meanwhile, have been in good form upon their return to the top flight, with Bruce&rsquo;s side taking 11 points from nine games, and moving to 10th spot in EPL.u00a0But Hull head into the match with an extensive injury list that includes &rsquo;keeper Allan McGregor (thigh), defenders James Chester (hamstring) and Abdoulaye Faye (knock) and forwards Sone Aluko (calf) and Danny Graham (hamstring).
