The defending Carabao Cup champions Newcastle welcome a Tottenham side also hungry for more silverware to St James' Park tonight. It is, arguably, the marquee tie in the fourth round of this season's EFL Cup alongside Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace and Arsenal vs. Brighton.
Eddie Howe's Newcastle side have been frustrating to watch at times this season but they head into this one on the back of a victory against Jose Mourinho's Benfica in the UEFA Champions League and a 2-1 home win over Fulham in the Premier League.
Thomas Frank's Spurs, meanwhile, head north with a flattering 3-0 win away at Everton featuring two Micky van de Ven goals fresh in the memory as they look to continue their habit of getting results without necessarily displaying the performance levels to match.
Spurs won the UEFA Europa League last season under Ange Postecoglou (a key contender to replace Brendan Rodgers at Celtic) but finished 17th in the Premier League. They now sit third in the league and are steadily improving under Frank. In fact, they have collected four more points on the road (13) than any other Premier League team so far.

Newcastle vs. Tottenham preview: Who will win?
Tottenham haven't been playing particularly well despite their strong and deceptively deep squad, but Frank is still getting his Spurs side to grind out impressive results - particularly on the road.
They face a Newcastle side who have begun to settle into a new way of playing following a summer of change and there will be a real desire to defend the trophy it took them so long to win following the Magpies' 70-year silverware drought prior to last season.
With what will likely be a raucous home atmosphere, we think Newcastle have a good chance of seeing off a more rotated Spurs side.

Newcastle vs. Tottenham Score Prediction
Thomas Frank had a very average record as Brentford boss in cup competitions and was often criticised for rotating too heavily and seemingly majorly prioritising league football.
That simply cannot be the case at Tottenham but old habits die hard and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the visitors make changes to the extent that Newcastle eventually ease past them. Having waited 70 years to win a trophy, Eddie Howe's side will be keen to hold on to it for as long as they can.
Prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Tottenham (8/1 with Bet365)
