Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur meet for the first time this season and it’s a knockout affair when the League Cup fourth round hits St. James’ Park on Wednesday.
The hosts are tournament’s reigning champions, and Eddie Howe’s men will hope to defend their title after defeating Bradford City 4-1 in the third round last month.

Spurs claimed long-sought silverware last season as well, but that was under Ange Postecoglou. New boss Thomas Frank would be thrilled to post a deep tourney run or two on his Spurs resume this season. They beat Doncaster Rovers to reach the fourth round.
Both the Magpies and Spurs are coming off Premier League wins at the weekend, and will meet for the first time in the league come Dec. 2.
Yet are the odds in Spurs favor? Newcastle swept the season series last year and have won five of their last six against Tottenham Hotspur. That seems uneven for two well-respected sides.
