Carabao Cup champions Newcastle United host Tottenham with a place in the quarter-finals on the line.
Eddie Howe’s side are looking to make further progress in their defence of the Carabao Cup trophy, which they famously lifted back in March after beating Liverpool in the final at Wembley.
It is a difficult test for Newcastle United. Spurs are in impressive form under Thomas Frank and sit third in the Premier League, so arrive at St James’ Park full of confidence.
Still, this competition has been very kind to the Newcastle United manager since he arrived at the club. His team have never failed to reach the quarter-finals under his watch and now would be a bad time to start.
Arguably the standout fixture of the tournament in this round, here’s how to keep across all the action.

What Eddie Howe has said about Newcastle United vs Tottenham
The Toon boss has stressed that Newcastle do not want to relinquish their grasp on the Carabao Cup.
It would not be a surprise to see Howe rotate his squad for the game but that does not mean they are taking the fixture lightly.
Such has been their record under Howe in this tournament, losing a home game would be a bitter blow for the club.
“We’ve had a lot of great experiences in this competition – the first final, the emotions after the game, feeling we could have done more on the pitch,” he said.
“The Chelsea defeat (in 2023/24) is still very painful – we had a chance to win the competition that year – but we put it right. We had a lot of tough opponents – we didn’t get to the final by luck. That experience, winning the cup, has helped us grow as a team.”
