Tottenham Hotspur will shift their attention from the Premier League and Champions League to the League Cup. Thomas Frank & Co. head into this midweek scheduled to visit Newcastle United in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

The North Londoners come into this game following a strong performance against Everton, which will give a lot of hope to the supporters going into the game. Given that Newcastle are the defending cup winners, Eddie Howe’s side will see this game as an opportunity to not only defend their crown but also make a statement with a win against an in-form side at home.

To be honest, the Lilywhites have been better away from home than at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season. There is this sense of resilience that we have been seeing from this roster on away grounds. And it is a genuine asset. But given that the game is going to be played at St James’ Park, a place that is always hostile, adds pressure.

And while Newcastle have had their domestic ups and downs this season, they will know that their fans will be expecting big things with these cup games, as they see it as a genuine silverware opportunity.
