Spurs are looking to make it all the way to Wembley for a third consecutive season, and claim a fifth League Cup triumph.Harry Redknapp's side have already seen off two Championship sides in the competition so far, with Doncaster and Preston put to the sword.Both of those games finished 5-1 in favour of the North London outfit and they will be hoping for more of the same in round four.Everton stand in their way, but the Toffees will travel to White Hart Lane with a severely depleted side.The Merseysiders saw off Premier League rivals Hull City in convincing fashion in their only Carling Cup outing so far this term, but are likely to face a tougher test in the capital.David Moyes is adamant that his side can continue their quest for a long-awaited piece of silverware, but a draining fixture list suggests the Toffees could come unstuck. Defoe bannedTottenham striker Jermain Defoe is suspended for the midweek contest and Peter Crouch is expected to take his place in Redknapp's starting XI.Aaron Lennon (ankle), Jonathan Woodgate (head), Ledley King (illness), Giovani dos Santos (ankle) and Luka Modric (fractured leg) also miss out.Croatia midfielder Niko Kranjcar is cup-tied after playing for Portsmouth in the competition earlier this season.Fitness testsEverton will make late fitness checks on four of their injured players ahead of the game.But Dutch defender John Heitinga, who limped out of Sunday's defeat at Bolton with cramp, will be fit to play at White Hart Lane.Everton were missing 11 senior players at the Reebok, and only Aiyegbeni Yakubu (heel), Diniyar Bilyaletdinov (groin), Joseph Yobo (head) and Leighton Baines (calf) are likely to be in contention from that list.
