After seeing off Everton in their most recent Premier League outing, Tottenham Hotspur now shift focus to the Carabao Cup as they prepare for another stern test on the road. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Newcastle.
Spurs were semi-finalists in last season’s edition of the competition and will be keen to go one step further this time around, though the task ahead is far from simple.
Thomas Frank’s men will have to navigate their way past the defending champions in midweek, and that alone is enough to make this a mouth-watering tie for the neutral.
Newcastle United ended their 70-year wait for silverware when they defeated Liverpool at Wembley last season to lift the Carabao Cup, and Eddie Howe’s side will be eager to defend their title once more.

It is a difficult tie to call given that Newcastle arrive in fine form, having won four of their last five matches across all competitions.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have managed just two victories in that same stretch, though they remain a serious threat away from home.
Thomas Frank will be hoping his side can go deep in this competition, and defeating the defending champions would certainly be a strong statement in that direction.
