Match Prediction: Newcastle United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Newcastle managed a strong win against Bradford City in the previous round, showing they can dominate at home. They'll look to use that momentum and their attacking flair to put pressure on Tottenham from the start. With players like Elanga and Gordon up front, they've got the firepower to cause problems. But they'll need to be sharp at the back to keep Tottenham's attackers at bay.

Tottenham, on the other hand, had a convincing win against Doncaster Rovers. They'll be confident but know they're in for a tougher test here. Their midfield, led by Bentancur, will be key to controlling the game and feeding their forwards. It could be a close one, but Newcastle’s firepower up front might just see them through.

Newcastle's recent 4-1 thrashing of Bradford City shows they're in good form heading into this match. Their attack was on fire, with Joelinton and William Osula both getting on the scoresheet. This confidence could be crucial against a strong Tottenham side. If they can replicate that performance, they'll be a real threat.

Recent Carabao Cup Results:

• Win: 4-1 vs Bradford City (H)

Tottenham's 3-0 win over Doncaster Rovers was a solid display of their attacking prowess. They'll need to bring that same intensity to this game. With key players like Bentancur and Simons in form, they have the quality to challenge Newcastle. But they'll need to be wary of Newcastle's attacking threat.

Recent Carabao Cup Results:

• Win: 3-0 vs Doncaster Rovers (H)

In their last two meetings, Tottenham have had the upper hand, winning both games. They secured a convincing 4-0 victory in their most recent encounter back in 2014. Newcastle will be looking to turn the tables this time around, but Tottenham's recent record against them is strong.
