After securing an impressive 3-0 win against Everton on Merseyside at the weekend, Tottenham travel to Newcastle on Wednesday night hoping to secure an EFL Cup quarter-final spot.

St James’ Park can be a tough away day, and the Magpies come into this match following back-to-back wins, which sets this up to be an enticing fixture. 

These Newcastle v Tottenham Stats offer further insight ahead of Wednesday's EFL Cup clash.

Meanwhile, these recommended Best Bet Builder Bookmakers are worth a look for Tuesday's action.

Both Teams to Score

After securing a Champions League spot with a fifth-place finish last season, Newcastle have struggled this term, having to contend with injuries to key players. As it stands, they are 12th in the league, having won just three of their nine matches.

However, Newcastle have remained strong on home turf, and have netted a total of 16 goals from their eight matches. While they have managed to score in the tougher matchups against Liverpool, Barcelona and Arsenal, the Magpies lost all three of those games, to highlight their struggles against the top sides even at St James’ Park.

Spurs come into this match in strong form, having lost just one of their last 10 matches. In that time, they have seen an average of 2.6 goals per game, with BTTS landing in five of those matches.

Over 2.5 Cards

There were just two cards shown in Spurs' 3-0 win against Doncaster in the EFL Cup, but this match is expected to be a lot more competitive between the two Premier League heavyweights.

In fact, there were a total of eight yellow cards shown when these sides lat met at St James’ Park, with both sides awarded four bookings. Over 2.5 cards has landed in each of the last 12 straight head-to-head encounters, making this selection look like a sensible pick.

Chris Kavanagh will take charge of proceedings on Wednesday night, and he has dished out a total of 21 yellows and a red in his last five games. Considering he also handed out five yellows in his last appearance at St James’ Park, Kavanagh is a good appointment to back the overs midweek.

Nick Woltemade to have 1+ Shots on Target

Replacing the output of Alexander Isak was always going to prove to be a tough task for Newcastle, but £70m man Nick Woltemade has started the season brightly. The former Stuttgart striker already has five goals to his name from just eight starts in all competitions, with three of those coming on home turf.

With just seven league goals conceded this campaign, Spurs have been a strong defensive unit this term, but it is worth mentioning they shipped eight shots on target against Monaco on their last midweek outing in the Champions League. The French side were desperately unlucky not to score, given that they amassed 23 shots and five big chances worth 2.45xG, to no avail.

Additionally, Woltemade managed to score against Arsenal earlier in the season, so he has shown he can land this selection, even in the tougher matchups.

Dan Burn to Commit 1+ Fouls

With Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento sidelined with injuries, Dan Burn has been shoehorned into a fullback role in recent weeks, where he has seen a notable increase in fouls. The 6’5 defender has looked uncomfortable at times, and has committed a total of 13 fouls across his last six starts in that position.

He racked up three fouls against Fulham at the weekend, as he struggled to contain the rapid Adama Traore. In midweek, he will likely find himself up against Mohammed Kudus, who has typically featured on the right wing this season.

The Ghanaian international likes to have the ball at his feet and look to beat his defender - it could be a real mismatch on the flank once more as he has a clear pace advantage over Dan Burn. Given the recent data, this price is hard to ignore, especially with such a strong matchup in Kudus, who is drawing 1.1 fouls per 90 this season in all competitions.

📈 Newcastle v Tottenham Form & Tactics

Tottenham came away with a 3-0 win against Everton at the weekend, as Micky van de Ven scored twice from set-piece scenarios in the first-half. Thomas Frank’s side have been effective from dead-ball situations, and their Premier League record of five wins, two draws and two losses is good enough to have them sitting third in the league.

They have kept back-to-back clean sheets, although it hasn’t been in the most convincing fashion. Spurs have conceded a total of 35 shots and 10 shots on target across those two games, with a total of 4.45xGA. In fact, that has been a trend all season. Tottenham have scored 17 goals from just 10.3xG, while conceding seven goals from 10.5xGA - overperforming quite significantly on both metrics.

It has been a stark contrast for Newcastle, who have scored nine goals from 11.9xG in the Premier League, highlighting their lack of bite in the final third.

But, the Magpies do come into this game following back-to-back wins, and Bruno Guimaraes was the hero at the weekend. The skipper scored in the 90th minute from a swift Newcastle counter-attack to ensure his side secured just their third league win of the season, lifting them into 12th.


📔 Newcastle v Tottenham Formation & Team News

Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento remain out, while centre back Sven Botman had to be replaced against Fulham at the weekend after suffering a head injury. The Dutchman was replaced at the hour mark by Fabian Schar, but with no concussion concerns, there is a decent chance he is able to recover and start midweek.

Yoane Wissa remains sidelined and is yet to make his Newcastle debut, so Jacob Murphy, Anthony Gordon and Nick Woltemade could feature as the forward line, while Sandro Tonali will hope to re-claim his starting spot in the 11 and displace Lewis Miley.

Thomas Frank handed Randal Kolo-Muani his first start for Spurs at the weekend, but striker didn’t quite look at peak fitness and was replaced by Richarlison after 60 minutes. The Brazilian will be pushing to lead the line for the Lilywhites in midweek.

Cristian Romero has returned to training, but was excluded from the matchday squad against Everton, so Kevin Danso is likely to partner Micky van de Ven at the back.

Mohammed Kudus shifted into a more central role in that game, with Xavi Simons out on the left, and Thomas Frank could persist with a similar midweek setup, given how his side came away with a positive result.
