Newcastle United continue their defence of the Carabao Cup with a fourth-round tie against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.
The Magpies ended their long wait for silverware by winning this competition last season, and next face Spurs with a place in the 2025/26 quarter-finals at stake.
Both teams head into the contest buoyed by Premier League wins at the weekend.
Newcastle vs Tottenham Hotspur – Predicted lineup and team news
Newcastle team news
Eddie Howe has to deal with several absentees, including summer signing Yoane Wissa who is yet to debut. The £55m recruit is, however, close to returning and a potential debut.
Full-back duo Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento are ruled out, so Dan Burn could continue to deputise at left-back. Elsewhere, Sven Botman is a doubt.

In terms of changes, William Osula could lead the line after an impressive weekend cameo against Fulham. The 22-year-old scored twice in the 4-1 win over Bradford City in the previous round. Osula’s inclusion could hand Nick Woltemade a much-needed rest.
Loanee Aaron Ramsdale is expected to replace Nick Pope in the Newcastle goal.
Newcastle predicted lineup
Newcastle United possible starting XI: Ramsdale; Krafth, Thiaw, Schar, Burn; Joelinton, Willock, Miley; Elanga, Osula, Barnes.
