Newcastle vs Spurs: Line-ups Confirmed
Spurs are visiting Newcastle tonight as the Tyneside club attempts to move into the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup and continue their defence of the trophy.
Newcastle won their first domestic silverware in 70 years last season, beating Liverpool in the final at Wembley.
Eddie Howe said: "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."
Thomas Frank's men have won four and drawn one of their five league games away from home this season, displaying a more structured style of play.
Newcastle is expected to face a stiff test from Spurs tonight.
