"Newcastle will attempt to move into the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup tonight, and continue their defence of the trophy, when they host Spurs. The Tyneside club claimed their first domestic silverware in 70 years last season when they beat Liverpool in the final at Wembley. They can expect a stiff test from Spurs tonight, though. Thomas Frank's men have won four and drawn one of their five league games away from home this season and are displaying a more structured style of play than they did under the Dane's predecessor Ange Postecoglou."
"This will be a really tough game against a team that is in form away from home. It is going to be a real challenge for us. Thomas Frank's teams are very aggressive off the ball - they are very well organised. It is a good game for us, a tough game, but one we look forward to."
Newcastle are defending EFL Cup champions and host Tottenham Hotspur in a quarter-final at St James' Park. Spurs have won four and drawn one of their five league games away this season and are showing a more structured style under Thomas Frank compared with the previous regime. Newcastle make eight changes from the Fulham win, retaining striker Nick Woltemade and starting Ramsdale alongside Krafth, Schar, Thiaw, Burn, Tonali, Ramsey, Willock, Barnes and Elanga. Tottenham make four changes from the Everton win, with Kinsky in goal, Palhinha in defence, Bergvall and Sarr added to midfield and Richarlison leading the attack. The fixture will test squad depth and tactical organisation for both clubs.
