Spurs on Sunday became the first team to win at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium, as Micky van de Ven scored twice before Pape Sarr rounded off a 3-0 win.
Newcastle, though, will pose a much tougher test despite a consistently inconsistent start to the season, which has garnered three wins, three draws and three defeats in nine league games.
But it was this competition that provided Newcastle and their fans their biggest moment in 70 years, when they beat Liverpool in last season’s Carabao Cup final to lift English football’s second-tier cup competition.

Newcastle vs Tottenham team news
Sandro Tonali shook off a knock at the weekend to see out Newcastle’s narrow win over Fulham, so should start on Wednesday in a midfield three of Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes. Further back, there could be a change in centre-back pairing, with Fabian Schar pushing to start ahead of Sven Botman, who suffered a knock of his own on Saturday.
Anthony Elanga has really struggled since his £55million summer move, so could be afforded a chance from the off, while Harvey Barnes is also due a start. Nick Woltemade should keep his place up front.
Tottenham are likely to again be without nine first-team players, with Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie the pair closest to returns but still sidelined. A busy treatment room somewhat restricts Thomas Frank’s options, but Pape Sarr and Lucas Bergvall could come in to give two of Rodrigo Bentancur, Joao Palhinha and Xavi Simons a rest.
Randal Kolo Muani impressed without scoring against Everton, but looked tired before being replaced by Richarlison so may settle for a spot on the bench. Micky van de Ven and Kevin Danso will surely start at centre-back given Frank’s limited alternatives.
Newcastle vs Tottenham prediction
Newcastle will get confidence from their recent record against Spurs, but the visiting team on Wednesday is made of far sterner stuff than those who have rocked up of late.
Under Thomas Frank, Spurs have won four and drawn one of five away games in the Premier League – and were unlucky not to beat Paris Saint-Germain away from home in the Super Cup before the season began.
But much will be decided on twhich team Frank selects, as he will need to rotate somewhat with Chelsea to come on Saturday night and the most likely place is to weaken the midfield – which is where Newcastle are at their strongest.
