Eddie Howe's team had a challenging start to the season, but let's take a look at who they lost to. Only the top clubs: Liverpool (2-3), Barcelona (1-2), and Arsenal (1-2). The exception was Brighton (1-2) in the previous Premier League round, but in that match, the Magpies looked no worse than their opponents and didn't deserve to lose. Therefore, we can conclude that Newcastle are maintaining their usual high level.

The previous League Cup round wasn't a tough challenge for the Magpies. Bradford City from League One were easily dispatched with a 4-1 scoreline. Interestingly, three players contributed to two goal involvements each. Joelinton and William Osula both scored braces, while captain Bruno Guimarães provided two assists.

Tottenham have found themselves in a string of mixed results, rarely losing but consistently dropping points. Thus, their away trip to Everton last weekend seemed like a daunting challenge for the Spurs. However, it turned out differently as they secured a 3-0 victory, becoming the first team to defeat the Toffees at their new stadium. Micky van de Ven, inspired by receiving the captain's armband, was particularly impressive with a brace.

Interestingly, the London side finished their third-round League Cup match with the same scoreline. Doncaster Rovers were convincingly beaten 3-0, although they did create a couple of chances. Antonin Kinsky, standing in for Guglielmo Vicario, had to work hard to keep a clean sheet.

Both teams face a hectic schedule with crucial matches in the Premier League followed by the Champions League.

The Magpies always draw inspiration from the support at St James' Park and currently appear more confident than Tottenham.

Nonetheless, we also expect the visitors to find the net, as Spurs should gain momentum from their emphatic away win over the weekend. In head-to-head matchups, betting on both teams to score (yes) has been a consistent success, and that's our editorial choice.
