Tottenham take on Newcastle for a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals this evening. Thomas Frank’s side make the trip to St James’ Park to face the defending champions of this competition, who beat Liverpool in last season’s final to claim their first major trophy since 1969. Alexander Isak scored the winning goal that day after Dan Burn had opened the scoring at Wembley. Now, they are bidding to return to the home of football for a second successive season, but Spurs stand in their way. The north Londoners come into this clash off the back of a strong 3-0 win at Everton in the league at the weekend, while the Magpies also returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory of their own over Fulham. Micky Van de Ven was at the double for Spurs at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, while Bruno Guimaraes was on hand to net a last-minute winner in front of the Gallowgate End to snatch all three points for the Toon.
